# go-micro vs n8n

go-micro and n8n share 5 technologies: Postgres, Redis, MySQL, SQLite, and LangChain. go-micro is written in Go and n8n in TypeScript.

- [micro/go-micro](https://seerepo.com/r/micro/go-micro): A framework for agents, tools and services
- [n8n-io/n8n](https://seerepo.com/r/n8n-io/n8n): Fair-code workflow automation platform with native AI capabilities. Combine visual building with custom code, self-host or cloud, 400+ integrations.

## What they share and what sets them apart

## Side by side

| | go-micro | n8n |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 138,184 lines written, 500 code files | 5,241,398 lines written, 14,224 code files |
| Who writes it | 20.5% of its commits signed by AI. With Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot | 14.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and CodeRabbit |
| Activity | Last push October 29, 2026, 4,427 commits, 23,083 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 26,047 commits, 209,517 stars |
| Tests | 286 test files. 62.8% of its code files have a test that imports them | 10,704 test files. 53.7% 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.
