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.

Ask HN: What are some of the most elegant codebases in your favorite language?
While I think there's a lot to love about Java, I think the standard library itself is not an especially great role model. Most of it was written a long time ago and has a fairly antiquated style - lots of mutable state, nullability, and checked exceptions. Not that the library isn't an incredible asset - it's luxuriously rich compared to working in Node.js - but if it were written from scratch today, I suspect it would look fairly different. Eg, the collection classes would use Optional and have separate read/write interfaces.
For an example of "modern Java" I would point at something like this (which I wrote, sorry about the hubris):

Ask HN: What is a modern Java environment?
I have been thinking of writing up a series of articles on this. Without going into too much detail:
* IDEA
* Deploy on Google App Engine, Digital Ocean App Platform, Heroku, Elastic Beanstalk, etc - get out of the ops business entirely.
* Guice as the backbone, no Spring/Boot. I wrote a tiny dropwiard-like "framework" to make this easier: https://github.com/gwizard/gwizard but there's a laughable amount of code here, you could build it all from scratch with minimal effort. This is about as lightweight as "frameworks" get because Guice does the heavy lifting.
* JAX-RS (Resteasy) for the web API. IMO this is the best part of Java web development. HTTP endpoints are simple synchronous Java methods (with a few annotations) and you can test them like simple Java methods.
* Lombok. Use @Value heavily. Cuts most of the boilerplate out of Java.
* Junit5 + AssertJ. (Or Google Truth, which is almost identical to AssertJ).
* Use functional patterns. Try to make all variables and fields final. Use collections streams heavily. Consider vavr.io (I'll admit I haven't it in anger yet, but I would in a new codebase).
* StreamEx. Adds a ton of useful stream behavior; I don't even use basic streams anymore.
* Guava. There's just a lot of useful stuff here.
* For the database, it really depends on what you're building. Most generic business apps, postgres/hibernate/guice-persist/flyway. Yeah, folks complain about hibernate a lot but it's a decent way to map to objects. Use SQL/native queries, don't bother with JPQL, criteria queries, etc.
* Hattery for making http requests (https://github.com/stickfigure/hattery). This is another one of mine. I make zillions of http requests, functional/immutable ergonomics really matter to me.
* Github actions for CI.
* Maven for the build. Yes, it's terrible, except for every other build system is worse. Gradle seems like it should be better but isn't. I'd really love some innovation here. Sigh.

Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
I can't stand most http libraries (full of mutable state!) and I spend a lot of time making http calls. So I built a functional/immutable http request library which has been dramatically improving my personal quality of life for about 7 years now. No idea if anyone else uses it, but it doesn't really matter.

How Netflix Uses Java
Meanwhile, if you're building something smaller than Netflix, I'm writing a book just for that (https://opinionatedlaunch.com/).
It's about mobile apps, but I talk about backend at great length, especially since my background is Java. The book is called "opinionated" because I cover Quarkus (https://quarkus.io/), monolith, Fly.io, and no K8s.

Analyze and debug Quarkus based AWS Lambda functions with X-Ray
Quarkus is a Java based framework tailored for GraalVM and HotSpot, which results in an amazingly fast boot time while having an incredibly low memory footprint. It offers near instant scale up and high density memory utilization which can be very useful for container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes or Serverless runtimes like AWS Lambda.

Mentorship Group
We are open to practice using any open-source project, however, we want to set a sharp focus on projects maintained by the Red Hat, and our own projects in the Caravana Cloud organization on github. If there is no reason to do differently, we'll build using technologies such as OpenShift, Quarkus, Ansible and related projects.
