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?

Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world
I've been using TileServer GL for a while and it looks like there is support for pmtiles coming soon.

Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API
Firstly, I just want to say thanks for the reply, but more so thanks for your work, its moving opensource mapping forward.
In my work we are looking at switching from mbtiles hosted with tilserver-gl(https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl) to pmtiles to remove a server process. But we we self host already and we are already using maplibre-gl 2.
I can see why the implementation in the blog post would be better for high traffic deployments (ours isn't). It also points out to me I don't understand how a CDN would handle range request for hosting the pmtiles file directly, it probably doesn't?
As far as the mapbox stuff,in my mind, pmtiles is a direct competitor (successor) to the mbtiles format, which was a revolution in comparison to everything that came before it. A successor I welcome because it makes it even easier for me as a developer to self host and not be dependent on a SaaS to run my maps.
The modern opensource map stack wouldn't exist without mapbox and I'm personally grateful to them for that. Most people who use pmtiles will use mapbox's opensource style spec to style them, and descendants of their open source code to render them. But as a developer now its an obvious choice to not use their services after years of using them.
However I'm not doing high traffic stuff and they never made much money off me anyway.

How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions
https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl makes it really easy. I have a pretty simple pipeline set up to download an OSM extract, convert it to MBTiles, host it in CloudFlare, and render raster tiles with this software.

Does anyone know where to find the global raster set of buildings??
It's not raster directly, but you could use planetiler ( https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler ) to build a full planet vector map . Then you could use something like TileServer-GL to server the vector map with a style. TileServer-gl ( https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl) would provide a raster source that displays in the style you set on your vector map.

Offline Map Tiles
You could host something like tileserver-gl (https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl) and use the pre-generated vector tiles from https://archive.org/details/osm-vector-mbtiles Add some map styles and you have your own offline map service. Here are some good starters for styles: https://github.com/openmaptiles/osm-bright-gl-style
