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.

SQLite version of SQL Server "linkedin server", or another way to query another db from within SQLite?
You can do this with virtual tables, but you'd have to implement the code for the vtab yourself. If you know Python, the APSW SQLite driver supports vtabs. The default one that comes with most Python distros does not

Architecture Notes: Datasette
Opened an issue exploring alternatives here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io/issues/109
I decided to just drop "any size" but keep "any shape".

Schema on write is better to live by
I've come around to almost the opposite approach.
I pull all of the data I can get my hands on (from Twitter, GitHub, Swarm, Apple Health, Pocket, Apple Photos and more) into SQLite database tables that match the schema of the system that they are imported from.
For my own personal Dogsheep (https://simonwillison.net/2020/Nov/14/personal-data-warehous...) that's 119 tables right now.
Then I use SQL queries against those tables to extract and combine data in ways that are useful to me.
If the schema of the systems I am importing from changes, I can update my queries to compensate for the change.
This protects me from having to solve for a standard schema up front - I take whatever those systems give me. But it lets me combine and search across all of the data from disparate systems essentially at runtime.
I even have a search engine for this, which is populated by SQL queries against the different source tables. You can see an example of how that works at https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io/blob/main/templates/d... - which powers the search interface at https://datasette.io/-/beta

Using sqlite3 as a notekeeping document graph
I've been exploring this technique more over the past year and I really like it - https://datasette.io (code at https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io ) is a more recent and much more complicated example.
Extracting links from markdown and using them to populate some additional columns or tables at build time would be pretty straight forward.

What's New in SQLite 3.35
I run SQLite in serverless environments (Cloud Run, Vercel, Heroku) for dozens of projects... but the trick is that they all treat the database as a read-only asset.
If I want to deploy updated data, I build a brand new image and deploy the application bundled with the data. I tend to run the deploys for these (including the database build) in GitHub Actions workflows.
This works really well, but only for applications that don't need to apply constant updates more than a few times an hour! If you have a constant stream of updates I still think you're better off using a hosted database like Heroku PostgreSQL or Google Cloud SQL.
One example of a site I deploy like that is https://datasette.io/ - it's built and deployed by this GitHub Actions workflow here: https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io/blob/main/.github/wor...
