# jaeger vs go-redis

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

- [jaegertracing/jaeger](https://seerepo.com/r/jaegertracing/jaeger): CNCF Jaeger, a Distributed Tracing Platform
- [redis/go-redis](https://seerepo.com/r/redis/go-redis): Redis Go client

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric, Prometheus, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk
- Only in jaeger: net/http, MCP, otelgrpc, go.uber.org/zap, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric, go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp, github.com/prometheus/client_model, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp/otlptrace/otlptracegrpc, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/prometheus, github.com/prometheus/common
- Only in go-redis: go-redis, Redis, OpenTelemetry, go.opencensus.io

- 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.
