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.

Shot in the dark
Probably API-platform. The website is down at the moment, but: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform It's Symfony based (and plays nice in that ecosystem), also allows you to describe entities via Schema org vocab, has a client generator, and comes with docker-compose and helm charts. I've used it extensively to build various headless services. It's really easy to expose annotated Doctrine entities.

API Platform up and running in 5 minutes 🚀
API Platform is a framework for API-first projects, built on top of Symfony components. Let's see how to create a minimal and lightweight starter project in just 5 minutes!
- API Platform (the PHP framework for creating REST and GraphQL APIs) has a brand new website!

Is that the way to create an API? 😣 yes, I hate PHP
Just use a nice framework like Symfony and for an API there is a nice thing called API Platform

Questions about getting started with PHP
On the Symfony side, a headless API can be built really quickly with https://api-platform.com/. You describe your domain entities with Schema.org vocabulary, can use a client generator to hammer out a UI in Next, Nuxt, Quasar, or whatever as a starter, it comes with an admin backend, and a Helm chart to deploy on Kubernetes. Works great for APIs when paired with, say Nuxt SSGs/PWAs if you want more of a JAMstack approach.

What is the best way to write a dedicated server?
It could be implemented with STOMP, or Mercure (goes well with API-Platform, written in PHP/Symfony), you could write your own with the help of nchan and scale it via Redis. If it's a web service, the best practices for operating and scaling are well established, Godot then just becomes another client.

PSX - Build fully typed REST APIs
Why would someone use this over API Platform?
-
Anti-Laravel trends?
That looks like out-of-the-box api-platform. It even auto-updates the data on screen, no JS needed. Pretty powerful stuff and if it can be done in PHP, it can be done in other language.

Breaking Up a Monolithic Database with Kong
Kong Gateway allows the complexity of service-tier APIs to be reduced to a collection of endpoints (or URIs) focused on meeting a collection of business needs and functionality. Often-duplicated components (like authentication, logging, and security) are handled by the gateway and can be removed from the service-tier design.

Difference between Reverse Proxy, Load Balancer and API Gateway
I am seeing different companies taking different approach. I am not sure anymore where each should be actually used. On top of that tech like Kong make me question whether API Gateway should be one thing for all. Some perspective into this would be really appreciated.
