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.

Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API
Hi, the value add in the commercial offering is described here:
https://protomaps.com/docs/faq#openstreetmap
I also maintain open source tooling for anyone to replicate and consume all of OSM, as well as a free download portal:

Why OSM doesn't use PostgreSQL for replication?
I work a lot with OSM data, and never loaded into PostgreSql… On one project I keep data in https://github.com/protomaps/OSMExpress, another I keep it in .pbf and just handle minutely changes in memory, then even for PostgreSql there are multiple schema tables each optimized for different work, render server schema is very different from API server…

Best practice for PBF filtering?
You did not specify what kind of filtering you want to do, but if you are after area extracts like whole cities or similar, best thing is OSMExpress unfortunatly it takes long time to initialize it for whole planet, but after that extracts are done in seconds.

Protomaps - a new way to make maps with Openstreetpap
The major open source component that runs on the server (https://github.com/protomaps/OSMExpress) is tricky to package because it depends on S2 Geometry, which itself has some tough dependencies; the users I know out there are compiling it themselves, or using the community-contributed Dockerfile. I would prefer a .deb, do you think a PPA is the right approach?

Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API
You might want to peek at https://github.com/headwaymaps/headway . I have never used it myself, but it at least shows how to integrate the different pieces.
The individual software components often have alternative with a similar scope. So if you don't like a choice headwaymaps made, browse around.
The data sources are mostly "unique", i.e. everybody downloads from the pages (Geofabrik, Who's On First, etc), so not much to gain here.
Editing styles has some alternatives, but the OpenSource editors are far away from the quality of the Mapbox editor. Maputnik or editing the 1000+ SLOC JSON by hand are the way to go, imo.
Personally I use GeoFabrik to download OSM extracts → osmconvert to extract the smaller bounding box I am interested in → tilemaker to render vector tiles to individual .pbf files I can serve like it's 1999. The bounding box extract is not necessary, but it's much faster if you need to tweak things in tilemaker. Both tilemaker and osmconvert are packaged for at least Debian out of the box, so setup is easy enough. Rendering a decently sized metro area takes < 30mins with this from scratch of compute, < 5min with the bounding box extract.
Note that adding icons (sprites) or fonts is extra work that comes on top. And while the tools themselves are great, there's still a lot of gluing/plumbing/fitting things together that you'll need to do. If headwaymaps works for you, it's probably the easiest choice.
- Google Location History-type program, but on a private server for anyone to run?

Self Hosting a Google Maps Alternative with OpenStreetMap
In a similar vain, there is maps.earth / headway:

Another self hostable OSM stack that seems promising is headway
