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.

Looking for an orchestration engine for HTTP requests similar to “Postman flows” I can selfhost.
I've come across this list, but I'm uncertain about which option would suit my requirements without going through a trial-and-error process. Do you have any recommendations for a tool similar to "Postman flows" that enables the creation of chained HTTP requests and allows for response analysis?

Building a distributed workflow engine from scratch
True, there are many options out there. And we looked at a good number before we made the decision to build one ourselves. But at least at the time (circa 2014), many of the existing options were either not designed for a distributed environment, were designed more particularly for data-processing use cases, were seemingly abandoned, or simply felt over-engineered to our taste.

Dabbling with Dagster vs. Airflow
I'd say give Temporal (https://temporal.io) a look, but there are a lot of options (https://github.com/meirwah/awesome-workflow-engines).
- Are there any good resources for building data pipelines?
- Any bpmn engine out there?

CSV File automation
I believe the type of software you're looking for is a workflow engine. I've found this list of them, perhaps there's some in the list that could work for your needs: https://github.com/meirwah/awesome-workflow-engines
- Looking for genuine feedback on if my idea is good or not!

Looking for a tutorial to develop a workflow service
https://github.com/meirwah/awesome-workflow-engines links to a bunch of open source workflow engines. If you don’t find a tutorial, maybe try one of those and see if the code is small enough to read easily.

Dabbling with Dagster vs. Airflow
AWS Simple Workflows or Azure Logic Apps are both services that let you define S2S workflows however you like without any particular bias to CI/CD or business operations.
If you want to go even lower level, a framework like DTFx lets you define long-running, distributed and resilient orchestrations in code:

Resetting your Durable Functions Task Hub state
The fast and less official way to clean up state is to use the underlying Durable Task Framework storage APIs directly. Durable Functions has an internal dependency on the Durable Task Framework, so no new packages need to be added to your app to access them. Here's an example function that demonstrates how to clean up Azure Storage state quickly (disclaimer: use any of my code samples at your own risk).

What was your stupidest mistake? (As a C# dev)
To give context - this table would track long running operations that were initiated and being executed by our worker machines (we use this c sharp framework).

Azure Durable Functions - Developing Serverless Stateful Workflow
Behind the scenes, the Durable Functions extension is built on top of the Durable Task Framework, an open-source library on GitHub that's used to build workflows in code. Like Azure Functions is the serverless evolution of Azure WebJobs, Durable Functions is the serverless evolution of the Durable Task Framework. Microsoft and other organizations use the Durable Task Framework extensively to automate mission-critical processes. It's a natural fit for the serverless Azure Functions environment.

A 10+ year Journey
I could clearly see that the developers building applications on Microsoft Azure were facing eerily similar challenges to what I had seen back at AWS. The same challenges we had tried to address with SWF. So I used one of the internal team hackathons as an opportunity to pair up with Affan Dar and take another stab at solving the problem. Affan had a very deep understanding of Azure ServiceBus so he was the perfect person to build the backend for the stateful C# experience I had in mind. Microsoft had recently added async/await capabilities into C# and it turned out to be an amazing fit for writing stateful applications which need to orchestrate calls among microservices. Since Java lacked an async/await like primitive, we had to rely on Promise-based async approach when building SWF. But with C#, we were able to deliver a much cleaner and synchronous programming model using async/await. This hackathon project resulted in Azure Durable Task Framework as an OSS client SDK which uses Azure ServiceBus as the backend to provide a stateful workflow-as-code experience for applications. I'm so glad to see Microsoft has continued investing in the experience with Azure Durable Functions as the latest reincarnation of the original effort. An effort which started with that hackathon project.
