# frp vs jaeger

frp and jaeger share 4 technologies: net/http, Prometheus, github.com/prometheus/client_model, and github.com/prometheus/common. Both are written in Go.

- [fatedier/frp](https://seerepo.com/r/fatedier/frp): A fast reverse proxy to help you expose a local server behind a NAT or firewall to the internet.
- [jaegertracing/jaeger](https://seerepo.com/r/jaegertracing/jaeger): CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: net/http, Prometheus, github.com/prometheus/client_model, github.com/prometheus/common
- Only in frp: Gorilla, Vue, github.com/coreos/go-oidc/v3, golang.org/x/oauth2, Element
- Only in jaeger: MCP, otelgrpc, go.uber.org/zap, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric, go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk

- 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.
