# [grpc/grpc-go](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go) The Go language implementation of gRPC. HTTP/2 based RPC 23.1k stars · 4.8k forks · Go Quick update: star history is from the full report of Oct 25, 2026. Healthy Actively maintained by 32 people, no known risks. ## Why No warning signs: none of the [verdict rules](https://reporadar.ai/methodology) applied to this repo. ### What would change this - Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.) - A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this. ## Maintenance Partial Active **Human commits, 30 days** 35 **Human commits, 90 days** 111 **Human commits, 365 days** 417 **Bot share of commits, 365 days** 0% **Last commit** Nov 11, 2026 (1 day ago) **Last human commit** Nov 11, 2026 (1 day ago) **Authors, 90 days** 32 **Last release** Oct 27, 2026 (16 days ago) **Median PR merge time** 2 days Responsiveness: of 22 recent issues, 50% got a maintainer reply. Median first response: 7 days. - Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share. - Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.
