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.

We have getrandom at home
The crypto source in Go is great, no complaints there. Lints like gosec even recommend using it when generating crypto entropy. Go did a good job here, and I expect Rust will do the same sometime after getrandom reaches 1.0 so the API questions are settled, plus whatever makes sense for the future-proofing the standard library needs.

Goast: Generic static analysis for Go Abstract Syntax Tree by OPA/Rego
Various static analysis tools are available for the Go language, and existing static analysis tools can check general best practices. For example, gosec is a tool to check secure Go coding, and I use it myself. However, coding rules in software development are not only based on best practices, but can also be software- or team-specific. For example

Lockdown Your Containers: 11 Docker Security Tips
Regular security audits are crucial for maintaining the security of your Docker environment. Docker Bench for Security is a script that checks for dozens of common best practices around deploying Docker containers in production.

Understanding Container Security
Scanning your container images for vulnerabilities is a good approach. But this scanning is not one time job, it should be done regularly (weekly, monthly, etc.) You need to follow vulnerability reports and fix all of the vulnerabilities as soon as possible. I recommend some open-source tools that could be useful: Trivy, Docker-Bench, Grype.
