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.

With what should I use ansbile?
Look into AWX as an alternative to Tower. If you just want better reporting on runs, check out ARA or callback plugins.
- Show HN: ARA Records Ansible and makes it easier to understand and troubleshoot
-
Ansible-Semaphore vs Ansible AWX
Also worth considering is ARA for playbook reporting, and then whatever you want for orchestration (Jenkins, Azure Devops, Rundeck, etc).
-
Zabbix to monitor ansible
Why not use ara?
-
How would I get a list of IP addresses of failed hosts and details?
For general recording of playbook activity with a web dashboard, ARA works really well.
- Planning on writing a callback plugin - is there a unique variable to identify a particular play being run?
-
A way to log which user excuted a playbook
If you don’t want any UI / access control then you can also look at ARA - https://ara.recordsansible.org This works as a callback plugin to capture the job run data.

Benchmarking ansible-core 2.11 vs 2.14 and python 3.9 vs 3.11 along with ara's database backends
I'm not sure how to interpret running 100 debug messages (https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/blob/master/tests/integration/benchmark_tasks.yaml) into real life performance. Mitogen's Benchmark used either 100 times a "hostname" command on the target machine (https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/master/tests/ansible/bench/loop-100-items.yml) or running the DebOps project (https://github.com/debops/debops-playbooks/blob/master/playbooks/common.yml) for some sorta real-world module usage.

Best options for monitoring Ansible deployment times
There has been discussions about a prometheus exporter for monitoring, metrics and eventually fancy graphs in grafana but work on this has not started yet: https://github.com/ansible-community/ara/issues/177

Two File Descriptors for Sockets
Ran into a variant of this when working on an IO loop, ended up with a little "Side" abstraction to wrap bidirectional/unidirectional descriptors to behave identically for the rest of the library. It's an annoying wart but pretty easy to avoid in userspace.. https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/798032b9/mitogen/...

Mitogen speedup (the actual value)
It's an odd piece of code for 'self-replicating', and I'd say is a bit of obscure project, but it has something amazing: alternative strategies for Ansible to speedup playbooks. It's rough, badly supported, requires patching to run on modern Ansible versions, and you are on your own if you use it, but it's so fast, that's it's impossible to drop. https://mitogen.networkgenomics.com/

Surprisingly Slow
It could use a Queue of some kind rather than just pushing onto a deque between threads [1]? Then it would idly wait for the results_thread_main to push results.
I guess that might be what Mitogen does, a faster Ansible strategy. https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/blob/master/docs/ansib...

Ansible, Mitogen, Collections/Plugins
Yes, I use ansible-base + manually installed collections and mitogen works with both fully qualified module names as well as the short version. Should work since last year actually: https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/releases/tag/v0.3.0-rc.0

dw did make a comment there, but its definitely got a disgruntled attitude.
