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.

Anybody using spot instances for worker nodes?
sounds like https://github.com/aws/amazon-ec2-instance-selector
- aws/amazon-ec2-instance-selector: A CLI tool and go library which recommends instance types based on resource criteria like vcpus and memory

How reliable are Spot Instance interruption signals?
These have been recently deprecated. In order to reduce interruptions I would recommend you to diversify over multiple instance types, ideally using https://github.com/aws/amazon-ec2-instance-selector and to use EC2 fleet API with the capacity optimized allocation strategy.

Ec2instances.info now has Spot pricing information, is there anything else you'd like to see?
There's a tool/Golang library released by AWS that does something like that.

Auto-scaling DynamoDB Streams applications on Kubernetes
There are a variety of ways in which you can create an Amazon EKS cluster. I prefer using eksctl CLI because of the convenience it offers. Creating an an EKS cluster using eksctl, can be as easy as this:

How to migrate Apache Solr from the existing cluster to Amazon EKS
There are many ways to create a cluster such as using eksctl. In my case, I will use terraform module cause itβs easy to reuse and comprehend.

Ultimate EKS Baseline Cluster: Part 1 - Provision EKS
eksctl [eksctl] is the tool that can provision EKS cluster as well as supporting VPC network infrastructure.

[AWS] EKS vs Self managed HA k3s running on 1x2 ec2 machines, for medium production workload
For this and many other reasons I recommend doing everything in Terraform EXCEPT EKS and its node groups. For that, I use https://eksctl.io/ because it much better manages the lifecycle of EKS and your node groups. I have an blog article better explaining why I recommend it, and another blog article explaining how to do zero-downtime upgrades with EKSCTL.

Anybody using spot instances for worker nodes?
Second, make sure you create a spot instance group that attempts to launch MULTIPLE different instance types. This way if one instance type gets flushed, your autoscaler will kick in and launch a different type. Without this, you WILL HAVE DOWNTIME if a sudden price hike and flush occurs. If you're using eksctl I have example configurations that use multi-instance types on Github here.
