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.

autometrics: easily add metrics to any function -- and jump to live Prometheus charts directly from your IDE (links with automatically customized PromQL queries are inserted into each function's doc comments)
The latter is both the "official" client (under the prometheus GitHub org) and the author's own evolution path from the former. More importantly, it enforces that all metrics comply with the OpenMetrics specification.

I once had hope that HTML5 would be the end of webpage compatibility issues, big NOPE. Could everyone just say somewhere on the site it's optimized for a certain browser?
The compatibility problem is "solved" when you have an objective compliance test. Like this one, for an OpenMetrics endpoint, that really makes it fast and easy to verify my code.

Integrating Software Networking products into Monitoring
The new defacto standard metrics protocol is based on Prometheus metrics format. It's now published as OpenMetrics.

Opensource Server Hosting/Management Web Panel
This is something that is actually on the road map, and something I have been assigned to. So you can expect to see this in the future, I will likely be implementing OpenMetrics endpoints that will be compliant with Prometheus & possibly promtail for Loki. I hope our status page located at `/status` will do for now.

How to create/get a centralised dashboard for cloud and on-premise apps?
The Prometheus format is now standardized as OpenMetrics, with a small test suite that I've used successfully. A quick websearch doesn't turn up any evidence that Umbrella or Office365 support it. I'm not aware of any explicit monitoring points for either service.

Looking for lightweight network protocol for low latency communication for embedded system
Yup. I worked on the RFC for this.

Generate SNMP private MIB for custom SNMP agent
For example, OpenMetrics/Prometheus allows for much more sane monitoring format than SNMP. All "MIB" information is inline, it's served over HTTP, and it's supported by a lot of different monitoring systems.

Kubernetes State Of The Union — KubeCon 2019, San Diego
Prometheus has established itself as a standard open-source tool for event monitoring and alerting and metrics collection. With OpenMetrics now a CNCF sandbox project, and OpenTracing and OpenCensus merging to become OpenTelemetry, opportunities have been created for new companies to provide monitoring and diagnostics solutions. While Datadog remains the 800-pound gorilla, a large number of startups and smaller players are offering a variety of monitoring solutions, and even finding a niche in deeper diagnostics, including more comprehensive solutions that include infrastructure level, Kubernetes cluster level, and microservice applications level monitoring and diagnostics all in one place, to help pinpoint the production issues quickly. I also saw a few vendors offering predictive diagnostic solutions. It seems the monitoring solution market will continue to be fragmented, with a couple of larger players and a number of smaller players competing on innovation.

Prometheus exporter for Playnite game statistics
Prometheus wants data in a specific format (value_name{label1="value1"} numbericValue) and an "exporter" is a middleware that reads data from something and exports it in Prometheus-compatible format (the format is being "opened" as OpenMetrics).

Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries
For at least 4 years protobuf has had decent support for self-describing messages (very similar to avro) as well as reflection
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
Xgooglers trying to make do on the cheap will just create a Union of all their messages and include the message def in a self-describing message pattern. Super-sensitive network I/O can elide the message def (empty buffer) and any for RecordIO clone well file compression takes care of the definition.
Definitely useful to be able to dig out old defs but protobuf maintainers have surprisingly added useful features so you don’t have to.
Bonus points tho for extracting the protobuf defs that e.g. Apple bakes into their binaries.

Create Production-Ready SDKs With gRPC Gateway
gRPC Gateway is a protoc plugin that reads gRPC service definitions and generates a reverse proxy server that translates a RESTful JSON API into gRPC.

Create Production-Ready SDKs with Goa
To use more recent versions of protoc in future applications, you can download them from the Protobuf repository.

Roll your own auth with Rust and Protobuf
Use the Protobuf CLI protoc and the plugin protoc-gen-tonic.

Add extra stuff to a “standard” encoding? Sure, why not
> didn’t find any standard for separating protobuf messages
The fact that protobufs are not self-delimiting is an endless source of frustration, but I know of 2 standards:
- SerializeDelimited* is part of the protobuf library: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
- Riegeli is "a file format for storing a sequence of string records, typically serialized protocol buffers. It supports dense compression, fast decoding, seeking, detection and optional skipping of data corruption, filtering of proto message fields for even faster decoding, and parallel encoding": https://github.com/google/riegeli

Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf
It looks like it is in fact universal. Just glancing at the code here, it looks like the tool searches any arbitrary file for bytes that look like encoded protobuf descriptors, specifically looking for bytes that are plausibly the beginning of a FileDescriptorProto message defined here:
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/go...
This takes advantage of the fact that such descriptors are commonly compiled into programs that use protobuf. The descriptors are usually embedded as constant byte arrays. That said, not all protobuf implementations embed the descriptors and those that do often have an option to inhibit such embedding (at the expense of losing some dynamic introspection features).

What's involved in protobuf encoding?
Not much. You can check the source code in https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf. For example, for serializing a boolean in C#: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/csharp/src/Google.Protobuf/WritingPrimitives.cs#L165. Strings and objects are a bit more complicated, but it is all about turning the data into its byte representation.

Trying To Solve The Confusion of Choice Between gRPC vs REST🕵
One of the key feature of gRPC is protobuf .proto file(nothing but just a contract for me between two communicator code components) This file and protobuff compiler is so mature, then it generates a direct client implementation using protoccompiler. ref
