# cadence vs ragflow

cadence and ragflow share 7 technologies: pq, OpenSearch, MySQL, Postgres, github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5, golang.org/x/oauth2, and go.uber.org/zap. Both are written in Go.

- [cadence-workflow/cadence](https://seerepo.com/r/cadence-workflow/cadence): Cadence is a distributed, scalable, durable, and highly available orchestration engine to execute asynchronous long-running business logic in a scalable and resilient way.
- [infiniflow/ragflow](https://seerepo.com/r/infiniflow/ragflow): RAGFlow is an agent-native database: a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) engine that grew into context infrastructure.

- 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.
