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.

How to use C++ as the backend for web dev?
Use a rest api library like https://github.com/corvusoft/restbed. You can use a json library with this to serialize/deserialize your data into json objects.

What does modern (good) API development look like and what are the best tools to use?
Contrary to the direction most people go, I've been writing REST APIs as C++ servers using two different fairly full featured C++ REST frameworks: first using https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed and more lately using https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio. These can be peers with any other server, while living on embedded and/or high compute devices for video encode/decode/analysis, deployed ML models, encryption for and remote process communications, model data collection and similar expensive or in-field processing. In both high compute and in-field-no-internet situations creating REST APIs in C++ enables speed and system controls not present in the majority of the mainstream REST frameworks. It's a big world, and here comes ubiquitous high compute...

I'm not sure what to study now ):
There are some C++ API frameworks like Pistache or Restbed (full list here) to get started. If I should be 100% honest, I don't think C++ is worth for APIs as we have easier solutions with the same performance nowadays (like Go and Rust), but I think we should try everything, right?
