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.

Choosing a CI/CD tool for your product
After Jenkins and Gitlab, finally settled with GoCD. https://www.gocd.org/ Also runs without a DB and has static or elastic agents. Fits great with LXD containers as Build Agents.

Best CI Service for Use with Gitea?
How about GoCD ? Not sure if it fits your bill, but I use it in a very rudimentary way and it works OK. I let it watch a git repository for new commits, but it should also work with gitea and some hooks.
-
How would you design a modern, resource and cost optimized CICD environment?
Like: * Drone.io * GoCD * Github Actions * Gitlab CI * Circle CI * JenkinsX (not the same as old jenkins - it is from built from the ground up on kube with tekton)
-
What are your experiences using a PaaS for hosting your containerized apps?
In the same boat here and started looking at https://www.gocd.org/ for the streamlining. Haven't implemented it yet to see if it really meets the needs, but seems promising based on all the plugins and integrations that it has. Gitlab has all the plugins that can put it all together nuts to bolts including deploy/release, but I've been told no enough times to using gitlab that I've stopped trying to entertain that option.

APIMatic SDKs in Backstage Developer Portal
Backstage is an open-source platform developed by Spotify for managing the entire lifecycle of developer infrastructure, including services, APIs, documentation, and more. Backstage streamlines the development process through its centralized and customizable platform, offering a unified dashboard that consolidates information on projects, services, and infrastructure. Acting as a service catalog enhances transparency by allowing teams to document and discover internal services easily. Backstage's extensible architecture supports a robust plugin ecosystem, enabling teams to tailor the platform to their specific workflows and preferences. The platform promotes collaboration, accelerates onboarding through standardized documentation, and integrates seamlessly with various DevOps tools.

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
It’s also well understood that having a k8s cluster is not enough to make developers able to host their services - you need a devops team to work with them, using tools like delivery pipelines, Helm, kustomize, infra as code, service mesh, ingress, secrets management, key management - the list goes on! Developer Portals like Backstage, Port and Cortex have started to emerge to help manage some of this complexity.

Ask HN: How do you organize software documentation at work?
We use Confluence and markdown files in GitHub. I think we are moving a lot of our docs to Backstage [0] soon.
One process that ends up being really valuable for documentation purposes is our "Architecture Review Documents". This is a standard document that team leads fill out before starting work on a new Saga/Epic/Feature/whatever. It includes the scope and business value of a new feature or large block of work, high level technical architecture of implementation, the impact on existing database schemas and service APIs, etc. This document is presented in a meeting with technical leadership in our organization who deep dive on the topic and explore potential pitfalls in the plan.
The document and recording of that meeting live on forever, and this information is very useful when getting acquainted with a certain part of our product/codebase. You are able to read and hear clearly the intention of a certain service or module, and you can identify several relevant points of contact to ask questions to.

Developer productivity for fun and profit - Part 2
The idea is to have a central point where people can find standards, documentation, and designs. The team can do this with a specialized tool like Backstage, Confluence, Github, Google Docs, or some internal implementation. The software is not the most important thing here, but having an easy way to find what is needed for the person to be more productive.
