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.

Testing spark applications
Unit and e2e tests using a combination of pytest and chispa (https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa). Custom library to create random test data that fits schema with optional hardcoded overrides for relevant fields to test business logic.

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.

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

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.

Unit & integration testing in Databricks
If the majority of your stuff is not UDF-based there is an OS solution to run assertion tests against full data frames called spark-fast-tests. The idea here is similar in that you have a it notebook that calls your actual notebook against a staged input reads the output and compares it to a prefabed expected output. This does take a bit of setup and trial and error but it’s the closest I’ve been able to get to proper automated regression testing in databricks
