On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Discord is clearly ahead of Workato. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Workato is slightly ahead of Discord. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Discord is clearly ahead of Workato.

Discord carries 28,570 GitHub stars across 327 public repos, with 36 repositories active in the last 90 days and 41 external contributors on record. Workato shows 112 stars across 67 public repos, 2 active in the last 90 days and 1 external contributors.
