# grpc-go vs go-redis

grpc-go and go-redis share 5 technologies: OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric, Prometheus, and go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk. Both are written in Go.

- [grpc/grpc-go](https://seerepo.com/r/grpc/grpc-go): The Go language implementation of gRPC. HTTP/2 based RPC
- [redis/go-redis](https://seerepo.com/r/redis/go-redis): Redis Go client

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric, Prometheus, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk
- Only in grpc-go: Google, golang.org/x/oauth2, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric
- Only in go-redis: go-redis, Redis, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opencensus.io

## Side by side

| | grpc-go | go-redis |

| Who writes it | 0.2% of its commits signed by AI. With Gemini CLI and Claude Code | 1.1% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot and Claude Code |
| Activity | Last push November 4, 2026, 5,441 commits, 23,104 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 2,438 commits, 22,287 stars |
| Tests | 480 test files. 78.9% of its code files have a test that imports them | 336 test files. 86.4% 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.
