# frp vs go-micro

frp and go-micro share 3 technologies: net/http, Prometheus, and github.com/prometheus/client_model. 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.
- [micro/go-micro](https://seerepo.com/r/micro/go-micro): A framework for agents, tools and services

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: net/http, Prometheus, github.com/prometheus/client_model
- Only in frp: Gorilla, Vue, github.com/coreos/go-oidc/v3, golang.org/x/oauth2, github.com/prometheus/common, Element
- Only in go-micro: go-redis, go-sqlite3, pgx, pq, NATS.io, github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis, github.com/patrickmn/go-cache, etcd, MySQL, SQLite, charm.land/glamour/v2, github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5, LangChain, Pydantic, OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk, go.uber.org/zap

## Side by side

| | frp | go-micro |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 76,952 lines written, 290 code files | 138,184 lines written, 500 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Devin, and GitHub Copilot | 20.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push November 4, 2026, 1,270 commits, 110,440 stars | Last push October 29, 2026, 4,427 commits, 23,083 stars |
| Tests | 174 test files. 50.7% of its code files have a test that imports them | 286 test files. 62.8% 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.
