Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Maybe faux pas to reply to my own comment I made further connections with this.
I literally had cloned and was fixing OSMBuildings.org because, among other things, it wasn't clamping values correctly [1] -- it's why my charging markers are white. But I felt conflicted doing that. I was happy with what I spiked with OSMBuildings and started exploring commercial services like MapBox and a few other OSS projects.
Operating projects and companies and organizations is not easy. It sucks what happened there. I'm not a hater and actually looked to Patreon or similar Paul Norman -- and maybe the 'vector tiles' earmark literally means that? But, I'm not happy with that previous behavior of the organization...
So it's great the OSM Vector Tile service will be dramatically improved...
If any of us start doing something interesting with, will we get jacked up like OSMBuildings? Is that the stewardship of this donations? That's the rub.

OsmAnd (OpenStreetMap) 4.3 for Android is fast with a new rendering engine
One use of that data is creating 3d renders, like this site: https://osmbuildings.org/

Is there a community fork of OSM Buildings or is it just dead?
The maintainer says it's not dead and the website still works, so... https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings/issues/252

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Have a look at https://www.serverlessmaps.com/ which uses PMTiles to generate the tiles from OSM data. It's also possible to host the PMTiles directly on S3 and use HTTP range requests to retrieve the desired bounding boxes. Under the hood, it uses CloudFront as CDN, Lambda@Edge functions and S3 (see architecture at https://github.com/serverlessmaps/serverlessmaps/#architectu...)
It's a very cost-effective solution as CloudFront has a 1TB/Month free tier, compared to hosted solutions.

Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world
We've had quite some success with deploying "serverless" maps, leveraging PMTiles. Have a look at https://github.com/serverlessmaps/serverlessmaps if you're interested to deploy this on AWS CloudFront/Lambda@Edge/S3...
