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.

Grafbase is now in public beta
Founder of Grafbase here.
From a product perspective Grafbase offers a serverless, realtime GraphQL API deployed at the edge. Our goal is to provide a unified data layer on top of existing APIs and databases.
The Grafbase platform itself is built in Rust and deployed to the edge using WebAssembly. Every GraphQL endpoint is deployed to V8 isolates at the edge which translates to very low cold starts and extremely fast performance globally.
Our branching feature makes collaboration seamless with your team. Just created a Git branch and push it up to create an instant preview branch that is totally isolated from production.
The Grafbase CLI is open source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/grafbase/grafbase.

No/Low-Code GraphQL Backend As a Service (Like Xano?)
We are Grafbase are making backends easy. Using the CLI, you can use the entire platform (including live queries) locally.

Build realtime GraphQL backends with Grafbase
Grafbase was built to manage all of the above. You get a distributed GraphQL API at the edge by creating a single grafbase/schema.graphql file in your project.

Python Cloudflare Workers
- The speed of the Python interpreter running in WebAssembly
Today, Python cold starts are slower than cold starts for a JavaScript Worker of equivalent size. A basic "Hello World" Worker written in JavaScript has a near zero cold start time, while a Python Worker has a cold start under 1 second.
That's because we still need to load Pyodide into your Worker on-demand when a request comes in. The blog post describes what we're working on to reduce this — making Pyodide already available upfront.
Once a Python Worker has gone through a cold start though, the differences are more on the margins — maybe a handful milliseconds, depending on what happens during the request.
- There is a slight cost (think — microseconds not milliseconds) to crossing the "bridge" between JavaScript and WebAssembly — for example, by performing I/O or async operations. This difference tends to be minimal — generally something measured in microseconds not milliseconds. People with performance sensitive Workers already write them in Rust https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs, which also relies on bridging between JavaScript and WebAssembly.
- The Python interpreter that Pyodide provides, that runs in WebAssembly, isn't as fast as the years and years of optimization that have gone into making JavaScript fast in V8. But it's still relatively early days for Pyodide, compared to the JS engine in V8 — there are parts of its code where we think there are big perf gains to be had. We're looking forward to upstreaming performance improvements, and there are WebAssembly proposals that help here too.

How much Rust work is actually going on at Cloudflare?
I'm also in the Workers org but I have had a bit of interaction with Rust. There's some Rust in the Workers runtime using lol-html for HTMLRewriter as well as some tooling and there's the full blown workers-rs framework that I work on, but that's about it for the Rust I work on regularly.

std.rs is seeking a new owner
I'm an engineer at Cloudflare working on Workers (and a maintainer of workers-rs) and I'd love to help whoever ends up maintaining this get that PR rewriting it in Rust across the line.

Turbopack - The successor to Webpack
I never said it was, but thankfully nowadays there are plenty of other tools that are fast enough to keep the dev cycle quick. Personally esbuild is my go-to when I need a bundler but I've grown really fond of SWC native api, we used to use it at work for our wasm build tool for our workers-rs framework.

What's your experience with FaaS and Rust?
I'm a maintainer of the of the Cloudflare workers-rs project to allow you to write serverless functions in Rust running as WASM in our V8-based runtime. There's certainly some rough spots (doesn't have complete parity with our default JS runtime apis), but if you're concerned with cold start times and you don't need a full containerized environment I think it's a solid choice.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (25/2022)!
Most likely, it should, we just haven't had the time to fully implement it or add a library to wrap the FFI. Please let us know you need a feature by opening an issue.

Warp or Rocket.rs or Actix Web?
I may be biased, as the original project author, but I’d recommend using Cloudflare Workers https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-rs - totally free their with very generous limits.
