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?

Most of these examples go up to zoom 10 or so because they cover a wide area. It's not prohibitive to increase that zoom in a small area because the total number of tiles will still be low. Also keep in mind that for vector data it's possible to "overzoom" and allow the client zoom levels to be higher than the physical data levels.
In terms of self hosted maps for outdoors use, I have some open source repos from a few years ago that may help with that. [0] is a style based on the openmaptiles vector tile schema for outdoors purposes. I believe that readme has some overall instructions, plus other repos in the org are for making data. (Nowadays planetiler is probably the best way to make OSM vector tiles though)
