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.

Daunting and fearing the open source world
I think part of that issue today are monorepos. They are super convenient and I may end up using them for my open source .NET job orchestrator, Didact, but they are overwhelming to look at a lot of times - and I’ve been in the field for yours. I used to get so frustrated with web dev in particular a few years ago, never understood what the heck I was looking at.

Solo Startup Founder with cloud hosting
In particular, I’m building an open source .NET/C# job orchestrator called Didact. It’s taken a lot of inspiration from Apache Airflow and Prefect over in the Python world. It isn’t finished yet, hoping to have a rough v1 ready after the new year.

Debating on a Monorepo
I’m building an open source .NET/C# job orchestration platform called Didact. I have a landing page for the site, and right now each piece of my architecture is in its own, separate repo on GitHub.

Nuget package for running scheduled microservices
I'm building an open source .NET job orchestration platform called Didact. It's not so much a library like the options above, but more like a complete, independent platform to run on its own. I'm including a REST API/execution engine, a modern-looking web dashboard UI (similar to Hangfire), and a few other things.

Are there any side hustles as a DE with smaller barriers to entry than building a full-scale web app?
You could make something open source if you want. Nice way to build your resume and establish a reputation for yourself. Who knows, you could even try to live off of it one day. That’s what I’m attempting with my new open source platform, Didact, which is a brother of Apache Airflow for .NET/C#. You can find some cool stories about this on IndieHackers.com.

What are your weekend side projects?
I’m building a job orchestrator for dotnet/csharp called Didact (website is almost done, but here is my main GitHub repo: https://github.com/DidactHQ/didact-engine).

Dabbling with Dagster vs. Airflow
AWS Simple Workflows or Azure Logic Apps are both services that let you define S2S workflows however you like without any particular bias to CI/CD or business operations.
If you want to go even lower level, a framework like DTFx lets you define long-running, distributed and resilient orchestrations in code:

Resetting your Durable Functions Task Hub state
The fast and less official way to clean up state is to use the underlying Durable Task Framework storage APIs directly. Durable Functions has an internal dependency on the Durable Task Framework, so no new packages need to be added to your app to access them. Here's an example function that demonstrates how to clean up Azure Storage state quickly (disclaimer: use any of my code samples at your own risk).

Azure Durable Functions - Developing Serverless Stateful Workflow
Behind the scenes, the Durable Functions extension is built on top of the Durable Task Framework, an open-source library on GitHub that's used to build workflows in code. Like Azure Functions is the serverless evolution of Azure WebJobs, Durable Functions is the serverless evolution of the Durable Task Framework. Microsoft and other organizations use the Durable Task Framework extensively to automate mission-critical processes. It's a natural fit for the serverless Azure Functions environment.

A 10+ year Journey
I could clearly see that the developers building applications on Microsoft Azure were facing eerily similar challenges to what I had seen back at AWS. The same challenges we had tried to address with SWF. So I used one of the internal team hackathons as an opportunity to pair up with Affan Dar and take another stab at solving the problem. Affan had a very deep understanding of Azure ServiceBus so he was the perfect person to build the backend for the stateful C# experience I had in mind. Microsoft had recently added async/await capabilities into C# and it turned out to be an amazing fit for writing stateful applications which need to orchestrate calls among microservices. Since Java lacked an async/await like primitive, we had to rely on Promise-based async approach when building SWF. But with C#, we were able to deliver a much cleaner and synchronous programming model using async/await. This hackathon project resulted in Azure Durable Task Framework as an OSS client SDK which uses Azure ServiceBus as the backend to provide a stateful workflow-as-code experience for applications. I'm so glad to see Microsoft has continued investing in the experience with Azure Durable Functions as the latest reincarnation of the original effort. An effort which started with that hackathon project.
