# pgcli vs microservices-demo

pgcli and microservices-demo share 3 technologies: psycopg, psycopg-binary, and Postgres. pgcli is written in Python and microservices-demo in Go.

- [dbcli/pgcli](https://seerepo.com/r/dbcli/pgcli): Postgres CLI with autocompletion and syntax highlighting
- [GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo](https://seerepo.com/r/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo): Sample cloud-first application with 10 microservices showcasing Kubernetes, Istio, and gRPC.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: psycopg, psycopg-binary, Postgres
- Only in pgcli: prompt-toolkit
- Only in microservices-demo: ASP.NET Core, Gorilla, Flask, asyncpg, google-cloud-core, Npgsql, pgvector, pgx, psycopg-pool, pyzmq, Redis, Google, anyio, flask-cors, Grpc.AspNetCore, werkzeug, SQLAlchemy, cryptography, flask-login, itsdangerous, LangGraph, langgraph-sdk, langsmith, LangChain, langchain-google-genai, filetype, markupsafe, pillow, jinja2, annotated-types, Pydantic, github.com/go-playground/validator/v10, opentelemetry-distro, opentelemetry-instrumentation, opentelemetry-semantic-conventions, psutil, python-json-logger, github.com/sirupsen/logrus, go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk, OpenTelemetry, opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc, opentelemetry-sdk, cloud.google.com/go/compute/metadata, go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp, pino
