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.

Testcontainers
Something that improved developer experience by far and also sped up our builds is starting the container dependencies via docker-compose and connect to it for integration testing. This allows reuse of containers, you can connect to it after/during an integration test to debug without having to keep searching for ports constantly.
With TestContainers - I've perceived that running integration tests / a single test repeatedly locally is extremely slow as the containers are shut down when the java process is killed. This approach allows for this while also allowing to keep it consistent - example, just mount the migrations folder in the start volume of your DB container and you have a like-for-like schema of your prod DB ready for integration tests.
I've found the https://github.com/avast/gradle-docker-compose-plugin/ very useful for this.

Testcontainers
I'm surprised this is getting so much attention. I thought this just standard practice at this point? If you use things like Gitlab CI then you get this via the `services` in your pipeline. The CI job itself runs in a container too.
I use a very similar thing via pytest-docker: https://github.com/avast/pytest-docker The only difference seems to be you declare your containers via a docker-compose file which I prefer because it's a standard thing you can use elsewhere.
