# netbird vs tidb

netbird and tidb share 3 technologies: Gorilla, net/http, and Google. Both are written in Go.

- [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®
- [pingcap/tidb](https://seerepo.com/r/pingcap/tidb): TiDB is built for agentic workloads that grow unpredictably, with ACID guarantees and native support for transactions, analytics, and vector search. No data silos. No noisy neighbors. No infrastructure ceiling.

## What they share and what sets them apart

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

- 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.
