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.

Spark open source community is awesome
here's a little README fix a user pushed to chispa
-
Invitation to collaborate on open source PySpark projects
chispa is a library of PySpark testing functions.

installing pyspark on my m1 mac, getting an env error
The other approach I've used is Poetry, see the chispa project as an example. Poetry is especially nice for projects that you'd like to publish to PyPi because those commands are built-in.

Spark: local dev environment
- All Spark transformations are tested with pytest + chispa (https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa)

Pyspark now provides a native Pandas API
Pandas syntax is far inferior to regular PySpark in my opinion. Goes to show how much data analysts value a syntax that they're already familiar with. Pandas syntax makes it harder to reason about queries, abstract DataFrame transformations, etc. I've authored some popular PySpark libraries like quinn and chispa and am not excited to add Pandas syntax support, haha.

Show dataengineering: beavis, a library for unit testing Pandas/Dask code
I am the author of spark-fast-tests and chispa, libraries for unit testing Scala Spark / PySpark code.

Tips for building popular open source data engineering projects
Blogging has been the main way I've been able to attract users. Someone searches "testing PySpark", they see this blog, and then they're motivated to try chispa.

Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I built daria (https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-daria) to make it easier to write Spark and spark-fast-tests (https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-fast-tests) to provide a good testing workflow.
quinn (https://github.com/MrPowers/quinn) and chispa (https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa) are the PySpark equivalents.
Built bebe (https://github.com/MrPowers/bebe) to expose the Spark Catalyst expressions that aren't exposed to the Scala / Python APIs.
Also build spark-sbt.g8 to create a Spark project with a single command: https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-sbt.g8

Open source contributions for a Data Engineer?
I've built popular PySpark (quinn, chispa) and Scala Spark (spark-daria, spark-fast-tests) libraries.

Why Databricks Is Winning
The last point was for teams that only rely on notebooks, sorry if I didn't make that clear.
You're right that all those issues can be sidestepped if you build projects in version controlled Git repos, test the code, and deploy JAR / Wheel files.
Speaking of testing, can you let me know if this PySpark testing fix worked for you ;) https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa/issues/6

Lakehouse architecture in Azure Synapse without Databricks?
I was a Databricks user for 5 years and spent 95% of my time developing Spark code in IDEs. See the spark-daria and spark-fast-tests projects as Scala examples. I developed internal libraries with all the business logic. The Databricks notebooks would consist of a few lines of code that would invoke a function in the proprietary Spark codebase. The proprietary Spark codebase would depend on the OSS libraries I developed in parallel.

Is Spark - The Defenitive Guide outdated?
They spent a lot of effort improving the catalyst engine under the hood too and making it easier to extend and improve it in the future. Making it easy to add your own native code to Spark itself. Shameless plug of a blog post I wrote on this subject which basically reiterates what Matthew Powers, author of Spark Daria and quinn, wrote here.

What are some alternatives?
spark-fast-tests - Apache Spark testing helpers (dependency free & works with Scalatest, uTest, and MUnit)
quinn - pyspark methods to enhance developer productivity 📣 👯 🎉
Task - A task runner / simpler Make alternative written in Go
Prefect - The easiest way to build, run, and monitor data pipelines at scale.
lowdefy - The config web stack for business apps - build internal tools, client portals, web apps, admin panels, dashboards, web sites, and CRUD apps with YAML or JSON.
null - Nullable Go types that can be marshalled/unmarshalled to/from JSON.
dagster - An orchestration platform for the development, production, and observation of data assets.
fugue - A unified interface for distributed computing. Fugue executes SQL, Python, Pandas, and Polars code on Spark, Dask and Ray without any rewrites.
airbyte - The leading data integration platform for ETL / ELT data pipelines from APIs, databases & files to data warehouses, data lakes & data lakehouses. Both self-hosted and Cloud-hosted.
