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.

RSE Rave Recurrence
I had a really (what I thought at the time) cool idea for a new Kubernetes storage driver, so I implemented the basic version in an evening. That's the first "rave-worthy" event - the architecture of these drivers is fairly complex and there are many ways to do it (see https://github.com/container-storage-interface/spec/blob/master/spec.md) so getting something working as I imagined it, knowing nothing beforehand, was the first moment of joy. The next day (after sharing in a few slacks) I got a DM from a tech lead at and he was really excited about the idea! That second affirmation that someone was excited about the project and wanted to brainstorm with me was my second moment of joy. And then for the third, last night and (some of today, still going to do more after dinner soon!) I've been doing detail work, and learning a ton, debugging, learning, making it slowly better... that flow state (often with music) is probably the closest thing to the idea of a rave. Anyway, that's my story! I love learning Kubernetes stuff, I'm so grateful I've been able to in my current role.

Infrastructure Engineering — Deployment Strategies
But if all of these are not an issue, then Containers and an orchestration system like Kubernetes can always take care of workload portability especially with OCI now in place for containers and CSI, CNI, CRI, SMI for storage, networking, runtime and service mesh respectively creating a healthy standards based ecosystem for all thereby enabling workload portability without lock-in since for a workload to be truly portable, all the underlying resources should be portable without any/very limited changes.

CSI (Container Storage Interface) is a standard which helps establish interoperability between multiple storage providers avoiding the need to have in-tree plugins within the core. So, any storage provider who supports CSI can work with Kubernetes without any issues. You can find a complete list of providers supporting CSI here
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cri-api and spec you can also consider the following projects:
cni - Container Network Interface - networking for Linux containers
community - Kubernetes community content
kubefed - Kubernetes Cluster Federation
virtual-kubelet - Virtual Kubelet is an open source Kubernetes kubelet implementation.
swarmkit - A toolkit for orchestrating distributed systems at any scale. It includes primitives for node discovery, raft-based consensus, task scheduling and more.
sops - Simple and flexible tool for managing secrets
runc - CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification
