- [grafana/loki](https://seerepo.com/r/grafana/loki): Like Prometheus, but for logs.
- [netbirdio/netbird](https://seerepo.com/r/netbirdio/netbird): NetBird securely connects people, machines and AI agents across any network with one identity-based Zero Trust platform. Powered by peer-to-peer WireGuard®

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Gorilla, net/http, Redis
- Only in loki: None
- Only in netbird: React, Vite, Postgres, Google, AWS S3

## Side by side

| | loki | netbird |

| Size | 722,506 lines written, 1,430 code files | 580,809 lines written, 1,795 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.8% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot | 0.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, CodeRabbit, and GitHub Copilot |
| Activity | Last push November 2, 2026, 13,864 commits, 29,109 stars | Last push November 2, 2026, 3,478 commits, 30,541 stars |
| Tests | 1,060 test files. 79.3% of its code files have a test that imports them | 1,002 test files. 57.9% 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.
