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.

The “Build Your Own Redis” Book Is Completed
Shameless plug; I've been playing with a [Redis Server implementation in Go](https://github.com/jan-carreras/ddia) for the past weeks. Mainly as a way to try out things explained in Designing Data-Intensive Applications book (favourite of mine!). Those are the [commands implemented](https://github.com/jan-carreras/ddia/blob/master/commands.md), + TTL + AoF files (for state replication) + config file, ... The "challenge" was to do it without any external dependency other than go stdlib.
> I actually build minimal Redis clones in every new language or runtime, or when I want to explore threading models.
100% agree with your advice; I'll definitively try to implement other parts of the Redis service in Go (eg: pub/sub, replication, clustering...) and probably repeat the same exercise when learning any new language.

The “Build Your Own Redis” Book Is Completed
I actually build minimal Redis clones in every new language or runtime, or when I want to explore threading models. It all started with https://github.com/rcarmo/miniredis (which I forked to add and experiment with pub/sub), and I just found myself doing it again and again because Redis is the quintessential network service:
By implementing it, you learn about socket handling, threading models, data representation, concurrency (if you want to do a multi-threaded version), etc. None of my "ports" are fully functional, but they all helped me sort out some of the above plus build tools, packaging, dependencies, etc.
It's "hello world" for core cloud native microservices, if you will (and without having to do REST or JSON stuff).
