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.

MassTransit with MSMQ vs RabbitMQ
If it's the former you may want to take a look at something like the actor model akka.net with persistent actors (https://getakka.net/articles/persistence/architecture.html). No need of an external message broker or mass transit (which is a wrapper over different message brokers). You could use sqllite for persisting the actors state to recover in case of a restart.

For .NET 6+, is there value in using NHibernate with Sprint.net or should I stick with EF Core and the usual supporting libraries?
Spring and Hibernate are the goto libraries in Java land and I suspect that's the primary motivation for your colleague's recommendations. It's quite easy to bulldoze someone less experienced with your ideas so be careful of that. I'd avoid both. They aren't bad libraries at all but they have a 'legacy' feel and it will make your application less future proof. Would a distributed system be viable? If so then I'd recommend Akka, there'a .NET port of it that's well supported and maintained.

Using functional extensions in production C# code?
However, I've found that sometimes, they are a little -too- functional. I'm a bit more preferential to Akka.Net's implementation of Option and Try, if only because they have good 'escape hatches' where you interrogate them in a more procedural manner.

You may also want to take a look at queues (e.g. RabbitMQ) or even something like Akka.NET or Microsoft Orleans.

📦 Data consistency, outbox pattern and idempotency in a microservice architecture
There are many libraries in .NET that helps you implementing the outbox pattern like: MassTransit, NServiceBus, CAP. Talking about idempotency, a special mention to a specific lib from a big friend that runs on top of CAP which is called Ziggurat.
- Do I need message queues for sending emails/texts via services like SendGrid, AWS SES, Twilio etc.? How do you decide if you need message queues or not? What questions do you ask yourself?

Hello my company is trying to port from PHP to C#. Currently we want to port worker an example you execute cli command which is long running command which consumes messages from Rabbit Mq. How do you suggest that we do it in Dotnet way?
https://masstransit-project.com/ - Mass Transit might help, it's designed to make handling messages in .net easier and supports Rabbit Mq - might be worth a look
