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.

Kubernetes Application Archive !! Bundle up a Kubernetes application 📦 into a single static OCI compliant archive.
Similar to https://cnab.io/ then?
-
Stronger abstraction for deployments
IMO Cloud native application bundle is what you are looking for: https://cnab.io/

Deployment Packaging Solutions
have you looked at CNAB ? since it uses standard OCI compliance you can have your entire application bundle on Azure registry (azure registry is OCI 2 compliant registry) and you can get more information about how to do it using ORAS cli

k8s based platform
Check https://cnab.io/ and https://porter.sh/

Terraform 1.0 Release
I'm closely tracking an effort by Microsoft that aims to do a lot of what you're describing since I find myself bridging between these tools and deploying stacks that span tools and roles. [CNAB](https://cnab.io/) and the front-running implementation, [Porter](https://porter.sh/), enable one-step infra deployments, packaged as a single OCI-compatible container, with any number of steps, using the best tools for each of those steps. Think of using aws-cli for some initialization step (create or verify presence of a state bucket), applying some terraform to create infra, and finishing with a helm chart to complete deployment of app components. Each stage in a bundle packages not only the code to run it but also the execution binary of the tool that runs it. The spec and porter are still a moving target but it's a promising space and a nice adjacent evolution of the current state of tooling.

- Is there any Django app deployment tool for VPS-based environments with UI?
- What's the status of Open Application Model?

Using compose files as a universal infrastructure interface, even for Kubernetes
Finally, I think the OAM model offers one possible future. Take a look at projects like KubeVela and Crossplane. These allow you to compose your own custom abstraction layer. The developer creates a simple CRD called "Application" and this is translated into ths k8s or even off-cluster resources. Problem right now is the complexity is transferred onto guys configuring the platform..... I want to see more "out of the box" implementations.
- Helm or Kustomize for my situation?

Opinionated application platform on top of Kubernetes?
Gotcha, thanks! We already run ArgoCD but having devs write raw manifests feels so low-level when it’s usually the same combo of configmaps, ingresses, services, deployments… Maybe this is more in the direction of what I’m looking for? 🤔 https://kubevela.io

Finding better motivations for software work (Other than pride)
Note: On that topic, I'm keeping a close eye on the Open Application Model and the kubevela projects. I think it’ll help write a representation of an application and its components that we can validate the structure of our code against, and generate documentation from it. Not a complete solution to the problem, but it'll help with certain parts of architecture documentation

Acorn
https://kubevela.io/ is an alternative that has been around longer, exposes CUE naturally, and builds on open standards for app packs. I'd recommend this open-source product.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cnab-spec and kubevela you can also consider the following projects:
kapp-controller - Continuous delivery and package management for Kubernetes.
crossplane - The Cloud Native Control Plane
helm-charts - Komodor.io public helm charts
argo-cd - Declarative Continuous Deployment for Kubernetes
porter - Porter enables you to package your application artifact, client tools, configuration and deployment logic together as an installer that you can distribute, and install with a single command.
kustomize - Customization of kubernetes YAML configurations
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
rancher - Complete container management platform
kpt - Automate Kubernetes Configuration Editing
Dokku - A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications
kcp - Kubernetes-like control planes for form-factors and use-cases beyond Kubernetes and container workloads.
porter - Kubernetes powered PaaS that runs in your own cloud.
