# go-ethereum vs prometheus

go-ethereum and prometheus share 9 technologies: github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/credentials, OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace, github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2, github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracehttp, and go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk. Both are written in Go.

- 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.
