# go-micro vs go-redis

go-micro and go-redis share 6 technologies: go-redis, Redis, OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk, and Prometheus. Both are written in Go.

- [micro/go-micro](https://seerepo.com/r/micro/go-micro): A framework for agents, tools and services
- [redis/go-redis](https://seerepo.com/r/redis/go-redis): Redis Go client

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: go-redis, Redis, OpenTelemetry, go.opentelemetry.io/otel, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk, Prometheus
- Only in go-micro: net/http, go-sqlite3, pgx, pq, NATS.io, github.com/nats-io/nats-server/v2, Postgres, RabbitMQ, github.com/patrickmn/go-cache, etcd, MySQL, SQLite, charm.land/glamour/v2, github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5, LangChain, Pydantic, go.uber.org/zap, github.com/prometheus/client_model
- Only in go-redis: go.opentelemetry.io/otel/metric, go.opentelemetry.io/otel/trace, go.opencensus.io

| Activity | Last push October 29, 2026, 4,427 commits, 23,083 stars | Last push November 4, 2026, 2,438 commits, 22,287 stars |
| Tests | 286 test files. 62.8% 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.
