# incubator-seata vs conductor

incubator-seata and conductor share 3 technologies: Spring, Redis, and Postgres. Both are written in Java.

- [apache/incubator-seata](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/incubator-seata): :fire: Seata is an easy-to-use, high-performance, open source distributed transaction solution.
- [conductor-oss/conductor](https://seerepo.com/r/conductor-oss/conductor): Conductor is an event driven agentic workflow engine providing durable and highly resilient execution engine for applications and AI Agents

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Spring, Redis, Postgres
- Only in incubator-seata: MySQL
- Only in conductor: MongoDB, AWS S3, Google

## Side by side

| | incubator-seata | conductor |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 491,804 lines written, 1,728 code files | 568,609 lines written, 2,325 code files |
| Who writes it | 0% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot | 2% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push October 31, 2026, 2,547 commits, 26,007 stars | Last push October 31, 2026, 4,749 commits, 32,400 stars |
| Tests | 1,347 test files. 73.7% of its code files have a test that imports them | 705 test files. 34.5% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
