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: What happened to flatbuffers? Are they being used?
FlatGeoBuf [1] is an encoding for geographic data (vector features, i.e. points lines polygons and so on) written around flatbuffers that is increasingly well supported in geospatial software (GDAL, MapServer) and people reporting some experiments and demos on the @flatgeobuf Twitter.

Beginner Questions about MapBox GL JS
This is definitely possible. A very common use case is publishing custom vector tiles to Mapbox, but since you want to host the tileset itself on your own server, you can use something like tilelive to do so. It's easy to create your own custom .mbtiles with Mapbox Studio, but it's an open specification, so feel free to create your own from arbitrary geographic data.

SQLite 3.39.2
> I once experimented with using SQLite as a file store for small images
Mapbox productionized this with their MBTiles [0] format, to store millions of small vector or raster map tiles in an SQLite database. Much easier to work with than millions of images on disk.
