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.

Getting sum type values from a map
As my first "real world" (ish) project in Vlang, I'm trying to copy https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go, which is a Go wrapper for Kafka C client library, https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka

Fix it, Fork it, Fuck off
You are right, but in practice that's not what happens. Companies do not rely on open source libraries, the developers working for such companies do.
I can give you a realistic example. If you want to use Kafka and Go, your probably only option is to use https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go. Its LICENSE explicitly says "no warranty". Now, what if I find a bug in the library? Only two realistic solutions from my side:
1. I submit the issue and hope for the maintainers to fix it
2. I dig deeper and try to fix the issue. I submit the PR
None of the above scenarios are guaranteed to have a happy ending. The issue could be ignored, or piled up among thousand of other (maybe higher prio) issues. My solution may not be optimal and could be rejected (or if it's optimal, nobody is taking a look at it, and it could remain open for weeks/months).
> If that is a problem for you, negotiate a different contract up front - with the maintainer or someone else willing to do the work. That probably means paying them.
In the real world that would mean that I go to my manager and asks them to pay money to the maintainers of confluent-kafka-go to fix the issue I found. I don't think my manager would approve that, but let's imagine he does. The guys at confluent-kafka-go may not want money to fix the issue. These guys have probably already jobs that pay them well, and they work on the library at will.
Note: I'm talking about confluent-kafka-go, which I know is behind the Confluent software company. But I could as well be talking about libraries maintained by individuals like https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka

What are Golang competitors in 2022 when it comes to one-file binary deployment?
it can be completely statically linked binaries. example: https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/blob/db57ef6235/kafka/librdkafka_vendor/README.md

Benthos - Fancy stream processing made operationally mundane
If you find the kafka input slow, try kafka_franz. It might be a bit faster, since it’s based on https://github.com/twmb/franz-go. The kafka one is based on https://github.com/Shopify/sarama. You can also write a custom input based on https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go, but this library relies on CGo, which can be annoying.
-
Sharing event schema ( type ) between producer and a consumer
Last time I checked Confluent does not have a Schema Registry for Go, only for Java, so instead of that I rely on using the guidelines defined for the serialized data, specifically I've used gPRC+Protobuf for doing this, together with buf to detect breaking changes; buf has their own schema registry perhaps that could be something you could explore as well.

Hunting down a C memory leak in a Go program
So, in the interests of full transparency - we at Zendesk are actually running a fork of confluent-kafka-go, which I forked to add, amongst other things, context support: https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/pull/626
This bug actually happened because I mis-merged upstream into our fork and missed an important call to rd_kafka_poll_set_consumer: https://github.com/zendesk/confluent-kafka-go/commit/6e2d889...

Is segmentio/kafka-go production ready ?
I'd suggest https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go we switched from sarama-cluster with minimal work and it works fine. And we process approx 1.2M messages per hour.

Fault Tolerance in Distributed Systems: Strategies and Case Studies
Failure Detection and Recovery It’s not enough to have backup systems. It’s also crucial to detect failures quickly. Modern systems employ monitoring tools and rely on distributed coordination systems such as Zookeeper or etcd to identify faults in real-time: once detected, recovery mechanisms are triggered to restore the service.

Analysing Github Stars - Extracting and analyzing data from Github using Apache NiFi®, Apache Kafka® and Apache Druid®
You can install Kafka from https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart. Because Druid and Kafka both use Apache Zookeeper, I opted to use the Zookeeper deployment that comes with Druid, so didn’t start it with Kafka. Once running, I created two topics for me to post the data into, and for Druid to ingest from:

How to choose the right API Gateway
Next, review deployment complexity such as DB-less versus database-backed deployments. For example, Kong does require running Cassandra or Postgres. Apigee requires Cassandra, Zookeeper, and Postgres to run, while other solutions like Express Gateway and Tyk only require Redis. Apache APISIX uses etcd as its data store, it stores and manages routing-related and plugin-related configurations in etcd in the Data Plane.

ElasticJob 3.0.2 is released including failover optimization, scheduling stability, and Java 19 compatibility
ElasticJob achieves distributed coordination through ZooKeeper. In practical scenarios, users may start multiple jobs in the same project simultaneously, all of which use the same Apache Curator client. There are certain risks due to the nature of ZooKeeper and the callback method of Curator in a single event thread.
