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.

Bug in std:shared_mutex on Windows
Former AWS here.
My literal job for the last part of my time at AWS was "help triage bugs in the AWS SDK." This is by far the best repro I've ever seen for such an in-depth event.
Most of the tickets you get in open ticket trackers are incomplete [ https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/4011 ] nonsensical [ https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/4018 ] or weird [ https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/358 ].

AWS Boto3: Clients vs Resources - DynamoDB
Recently, my colleague brought up the difficulty of using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) while working with DynamoDB, especially the cumbersome mapping of AttributeValue objects on the Table operations. One of the easiest ways to get around this difficulty is to switch from the clients interface to the resources interface.

Beginning Python: Project Management With PDM
A majority of software in the modern world is built upon various third party packages. These packages help offload work that would otherwise be rather tedious. This includes interacting with cloud APIs, developing scientific applications, or even creating web applications. As you gain experience in python you'll be using more and more of these packages developed by others to power your own code. In this example I've decided to expand our math functionality with NumPy. pdm add is what's used to add dependencies like this to our project:

Creating RSS feeds for language/module specific AWS SDK updates
The updates could be parsed from the github repo's CHANGELOG files (ex: javascript, java, python). I'm picturing an RSS feed generated for a specific language and module (ex: python s3, javascript s3, java sqs)

Teaching boto3 to store floats and datetime objects in DynamoDB
This can be quite annoying because it makes you wonder why the high-level API isn't able to deal with these common data types. Part of the reason for this is most likely that floats in Python can be counter-intuitive, so Decimal is a better data type if you want numbers to behave as non-computer-scientists expect it. To learn more about these complexities, check out this discussion on GitHub about implementing float support in boto3 and the Python documentation on the subject. Additionally, DynamoDB has no native DateTime data type, so there is no straightforward mapping.

Interacting with Amazon S3 using AWS Data Wrangler (awswrangler) SDK for Pandas: A Comprehensive Guide
AWS Data Wrangler is a Python library that simplifies the process of interacting with various AWS services, built on top of some useful data tools and open-source projects such as Pandas, Apache Arrow and Boto3. It offers streamlined functions to connect to, retrieve, transform, and load data from AWS services, with a strong focus on Amazon S3.

Migrate 5 TB S3 bucket from one AWS account to another
Alternatively, you could create a Python script using either Boto3 or her asynchronous sister, aioBoto3 that will spin through the contents of the origin bucket and move it over to the destination.

Growing Outside of Work: My Journey with the Cloud Resume Challenge
Once my site was stood up, I needed to build out the user count API. Through the console, I set up a DynamoDB table and created a user count item. Getting my lambda to interface with AWS resources was a breeze with the Boto3 SDK. You can see my Python code that increments the user count whenever someone visits the site here. The key is the usage of the update_item method that comes from Boto3.

Logging code mess

Show HN: I built a self-hosted status page and monitoring tool for my projects
Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.

Webhooks suck, but here are alternatives
In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.
Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Prioritize IPv4 over IPv6 in dual stack
Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.

Managing re-occurring tasks - Daily/weekly/monthly
We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.
