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.

Gcsfuse: A user-space file system for interacting with Google Cloud Storage
FUSE does not work well with a large number of small files (due to high metadata ops such as inode/dentry lookups).
ExtFUSE (optimized FUSE with eBPF) [1] can offer you a high performance. It caches metadata in the kernel to avoid lookups in user space.

Gcsfuse: A user-space file system for interacting with Google Cloud Storage
You may wish to investigate cloudflare's image API: https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/cloudflare-images/
If the reason you were unable to use a CDN cache was because your access patterns require a lot of varying end serializations (due to things like image manipulation, resizing, cropping, watermarking, etc.), then this API could be a huge money saver for you. It was for me.
OTOH if the cost was because compute isn't free and the corresponding cloudflare worker compute cost is too much, then yeah, that's a tough one... I don't have a packaged answer for you, but I would investigate something like ThumbHash: https://evanw.github.io/thumbhash/ - my intuition is that you can probably serve some highly optimized/interlaced/"hashed" placeholder. The advantage of thumbhash here could be that you can optimize the access pattern to be less spendy by simply storing all of your hashes in an optimized way, since they will be extremely small, like small enough to be included in an index for index-only scans ("covering indexes").

note: I haven't had time but I would live to investigate into keeping tiny thumbnails hashes in my db as mentioned in https://evanw.github.io/thumbhash/

How can you use this package (ThumbHash) that makes small representation of your image?
Check the script here: https://github.com/evanw/thumbhash/blob/main/examples/browser/index.html

Generate thumbhash at edge for tiny progressive images
While it's similar to BlurHash, the color performance is much better for the same filesize. Here's a a demonstration of this from the demo page (with ThumbHash in the middle and BlurHash on the right):

Google's decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats
Webp took a long time to get some broader adoption but it fulfills the roll of jpeg: a decent enough quality looking picture but at a reduced file size. However, it is based on the VP8 video codec. So in other words, you can think of it as a still frame of a VP8 video. This has some disadvantages because it can only load the image line by line from top to bottom (as opposed to a kind of blurry but progressively improving picture like a slow loading jpeg). So this leads to tricks like storing a very small thumbnails version and loading the actual original image. But tricks are tricks, and they're a bit annoying to deal with. For a very advanced version of this "store a small version and load that first" check this out https://evanw.github.io/thumbhash/ (it creates a blur that has the the appearance of the photo that's loading but it can do it within bytes of data).
