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.

Beginner-friendly API made with Go following hexagonal architecture.
Also, I put config in the package that needs it using something like this instead of Viper: https://github.com/sethvargo/go-envconfig And then at the entry point make another config that includes all the structs from the packages and inject them after bulk reading in. The beauty of this is I can take a package for reuse and drop it into another project. It’s errors and config are right there with it. Also this reduces cognitive load of trying to find everything in big projects (or dig through a 1000 lines in a centralized location).

Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
The project currently uses slog package from standard library for logging. But switching to a more advanced logger like zap could offer more flexibility and features.

Structured Logging with Slog
It's nice to have this in the standard library, but it doesn't solve any existing pain points around structured log metadata and contexts. We use zap [0] and store a zap logger on the request context which allows different parts of the request pipeline to log with things like tenantid, traceId, and correlationId automatically appended. But getting a logger off the context is annoying, leads to inconsistent logging practices, and creates a logger dependency throughout most of our Go code.

Kubebuilder Tips and Tricks
Kubebuilder, like much of the k8s ecosystem, utilizes zap for logging. Out of the box, the Kubebuilder zap configuration outputs a timestamp for each log, which gets formatted using scientific notation. This makes it difficult for me to read the time of an event just by glancing at it. Personally, I prefer ISO 8601, so let's change it!

Go 1.21 Released
What else would you expect from a structured logging package?
To me it absolutely makes sense as the default and standard for 99% of applications, and the API isn't much unlike something like Zap[0] (a popular Go structured logger).
The attributes aren't an "arbitrary" concept, they're a completely normal concept for structured loggers. Groups are maybe less standard, but reasonable nevertheless.
I'm not sure if you're aware that this is specifically a structured logging package. There already is a "simple" logging package[1] in the sodlib, and has been for ages, and isn't particularly fast either to my knowledge. If you want really fast you take a library (which would also make sure to optimize allocations heavily).

Beginner-friendly API made with Go following hexagonal architecture.
For logging: I recommend using Uber Zap https://github.com/uber-go/zap It will log stack backtraces and makes it super easy to debug errors when deployed. I typically log in the business logic and not below. And log at the entry for failures to start the system. Maybe not necessary for this example, but it’s an essential piece of any API backend.
