# dgraph vs temporal

dgraph and temporal share 8 technologies: MySQL, github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v4, OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk, go.uber.org/zap, and Prometheus. Both are written in Go.

- [dgraph-io/dgraph](https://seerepo.com/r/dgraph-io/dgraph): high-performance graph database for real-time use cases
- [temporalio/temporal](https://seerepo.com/r/temporalio/temporal): Temporal service

| Who writes it | 0.6% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code | 2.9% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push November 3, 2026, 6,323 commits, 21,822 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 10,123 commits, 24,182 stars |
| Tests | 306 test files. 55.9% of its code files have a test that imports them | 1,385 test files. 85.7% 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.
