# migrate vs go-micro

migrate and go-micro share 5 technologies: go-sqlite3, MySQL, pgx, pq, and SQLite. Both are written in Go.

- [golang-migrate/migrate](https://seerepo.com/r/golang-migrate/migrate): Database migrations. CLI and Golang library.
- [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: go-sqlite3, MySQL, pgx, pq, SQLite
- Only in migrate: MongoDB, github.com/gocql/gocql, github.com/microsoft/go-mssqldb, golang.org/x/oauth2, github.com/moby/moby/api, github.com/moby/moby/client, github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go
- Only in go-micro: net/http, go-redis, NATS.io, github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis, github.com/patrickmn/go-cache, etcd, 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, Prometheus, github.com/prometheus/client_model

- 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.
