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.

We used Elixir's Observer to hunt down bottlenecks
Other replies are a bit outdated. It got a lot easier in OTP-23 to go without EPMD, https://blog.erlware.org/epmdlessless/ -- if you run with the same port. If not using the same port across nodes then you may want to look at epmdless https://github.com/tsloughter/epmdless

Elixir clustering using Postgres
libcluster is the go-to package for connecting multiple BEAM instances and setting up healing strategies. libcluster provides out-of-the-box strategies and it allows users to define their own strategies by implementing a simple behavior that defines cluster formation and healing according to the supporting service you want to use.

Distributed Elixir can be done with Docker containers too, see https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster which by default has some Kubernetes support but you can also have third party (or custom) clustering strategies. I've not done this myself but I've seen articles about this a lot during the past years.
Hot code updates for most applications aren't really worth it in my opinion, assuming you do something like blue/green rollover deployments. It's cool that it's possible though. But it requires appup files and afaik Distillery is one of the release tools that has support for it built-in.

If you were in charge of a startup tech stack, how would you use elixir to actually scale and make every work seamlessly?
On the deployment level, you can use synchronous communication using API-based solutions or asynchronous communication using external solutions (RabbitMQ, Kafka,...) or Erlang/Elixir tools (message passing, pg2, PubSub, Libcluster,...)

Clustering nodes with different basenames
Looking throught libcluster code (https://github.com/bitwalker/libcluster/blob/master/lib/strategy/kubernetes_dns.ex#L150) it does seem to require that both nodes share the same basename.
