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.

Ask HN: Have you used SQLite as a primary database?
This isn't a typical use case. FWIW, a decade ago, we used sqlite as the persistence mechanism for an in-memory KV store called membase. (See https://github.com/membase/ep-engine). This was powering 50M+ DAU traffic in production for very intense write-heavy traffic. It did its job well. Around that time we also considered leveldb (and rocksdb a bit later) as alternative to sqlite.

CursusDB – A new scalable distributed document oriented database
Seems like you could do the same with rqlite [1], since SQLite supports JSON.

Adding new database engine support
I found simple distributed RQlite https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite based on raft and sqlite. How hard is to add it?

So, you want to deploy on the edge?
rqlite[1] creator here, happy to answer any questions. rqlite also supports read-only nodes, which can also help with reads at the "edge". It probably wouldn't scale to 100s of nodes, it is an option.
"rqlite supports adding read-only nodes. You can use this feature to add read scalability to the cluster if you need a high volume of reads, or want to distribute copies of the data nearer to clients – but don’t want those nodes counted towards the quorum. These types of nodes are also known as non-voting nodes."
