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.

Stronger abstraction for deployments
This is just a concept. AFAIK only one implemented this concept is Microsoft's project porter: https://github.com/getporter/porter

New automation tool - kuberlogic
For porter I am talking about this project https://porter.run/ and NOT this https://porter.sh/

kbrew: Install any complex app on Kubernetes with one step - within the context of your environment. Please check out, would love feedback!
As far as I know the tool is used at least in Microsoft. The classic use case is where you want to install an application and also define the infrastructure as well (i.e cluster + db + lb + app). You can see the examples here https://github.com/getporter/porter/tree/main/examples

k8s based platform
Check https://cnab.io/ and https://porter.sh/

Terraform 1.0 Release
I'm closely tracking an effort by Microsoft that aims to do a lot of what you're describing since I find myself bridging between these tools and deploying stacks that span tools and roles. [CNAB](https://cnab.io/) and the front-running implementation, [Porter](https://porter.sh/), enable one-step infra deployments, packaged as a single OCI-compatible container, with any number of steps, using the best tools for each of those steps. Think of using aws-cli for some initialization step (create or verify presence of a state bucket), applying some terraform to create infra, and finishing with a helm chart to complete deployment of app components. Each stage in a bundle packages not only the code to run it but also the execution binary of the tool that runs it. The spec and porter are still a moving target but it's a promising space and a nice adjacent evolution of the current state of tooling.

Open source Heroku Like Platform on premises
Cool, it's great to know that it isn't abandoned.
I'm not sure why you'd say that their business model was a success. They were bought by Microsoft for Azure. I guess I wonder if a PaaS company can survive without getting the profits off renting the machines to people. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all have PaaS options based around the idea that it comes bundled with the compute, not as a standalone open-source thing for you to use on any platform.
I guess the question is whether Porter's business plan is "make enough that a company that owns a cloud wants to buy us". Oracle could probably use a nice PaaS platform and team. Maybe DigitalOcean would like to beef up their PaaS offering by acqui-hiring a team with proven knowledge.
Poking around https://deislabs.io, it's interesting to see that they have a project called "Porter" which seems to be unrelated to the "Porter" being launched here: https://porter.sh. They aren't quite the same, but they both have "easily run your app" goals.

Make Kubernetes as easy as Heroku. Open source PaaS to deploy Docker containers on a Kubernetes cluster running in YOUR OWN cloud provider.
There is already this from Microsoft https://github.com/getporter/porter

- Is there any Django app deployment tool for VPS-based environments with UI?
- What's the status of Open Application Model?
-
Using compose files as a universal infrastructure interface, even for Kubernetes
Finally, I think the OAM model offers one possible future. Take a look at projects like KubeVela and Crossplane. These allow you to compose your own custom abstraction layer. The developer creates a simple CRD called "Application" and this is translated into ths k8s or even off-cluster resources. Problem right now is the complexity is transferred onto guys configuring the platform..... I want to see more "out of the box" implementations.
- Helm or Kustomize for my situation?
- KubeVela, the extensible engine for IDP and platform engineering

Opinionated application platform on top of Kubernetes?
Gotcha, thanks! We already run ArgoCD but having devs write raw manifests feels so low-level when it’s usually the same combo of configmaps, ingresses, services, deployments… Maybe this is more in the direction of what I’m looking for? 🤔 https://kubevela.io
-
Finding better motivations for software work (Other than pride)
Note: On that topic, I'm keeping a close eye on the Open Application Model and the kubevela projects. I think it’ll help write a representation of an application and its components that we can validate the structure of our code against, and generate documentation from it. Not a complete solution to the problem, but it'll help with certain parts of architecture documentation

Acorn
https://kubevela.io/ is an alternative that has been around longer, exposes CUE naturally, and builds on open standards for app packs. I'd recommend this open-source product.
What are some alternatives?
CapRover - Scalable PaaS (automated Docker+nginx) - aka Heroku on Steroids
crossplane - The Cloud Native Control Plane
helm-charts - Komodor.io public helm charts
argo-cd - Declarative Continuous Deployment for Kubernetes
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
kustomize - Customization of kubernetes YAML configurations
porter - Kubernetes powered PaaS that runs in your own cloud.
rancher - Complete container management platform
pulumi-terraform-bridge - A library allowing providers built with the Terraform Plugin SDK to be bridged into Pulumi.
Dokku - A docker-powered PaaS that helps you build and manage the lifecycle of applications
kapp-controller - Continuous delivery and package management for Kubernetes.
