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.

Helm or Kustomize ?
Exactly this. No need to wrap your app that only you consume and deploy as a helm chart. If you want to benefit from Helms application management features like rollbacks, you can use helm-x or helmify
-
Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
TLDR Use cdk8s + helm-x to be able to deploy cdk8s manifests as helm charts, with all the benifits of helm.
-
Why helm doesn't use a general purpose programming language for defining resources?
We are already very close to that IMHO. The functionality is not yet built in Helm. If you look at CDK8s + Helm X you can already do it for your team. The only limitation is that you can't publish that as a chart.
-
Interesting tools?
helm-x - Treat any Kustomization or K8s manifests directory as a Helm chart

Show HN: Workout Tracker – self-hosted, single binary web application
Where `kube.cue` sets reasonable defaults (e.g. image is /). The "cluster" runs on a mini PC in my basement, and I have a small Digital Ocean VM with a static IP acting as an ingress (networking via Tailscale). Backups to cloud storage with restic, alerting/monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, Caddy/Tailscale for local ingress.

Apple releases Pkl – onfiguration as code language
I've been somewhat surprised that CUE bills itself as "tooling friendly" and doesn't yet have a language server- the number one bit of tooling most devs use for a particular language.
I'm assuming it's becaus CUE is still unstable?
Anyway, if others are interested in CUE's LSP work, I think https://github.com/cue-lang/cue/issues/142 is the issue to subscribe to

Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
CUE: The core problem CUE solves is "type checking", which is mainly used in configuration constraint verification scenarios and simple cloud native configuration scenarios.
-
Lua is a viable alternative for JSON
If you really want executable configurations please consider a newer language like https://dascript.org or https://cuelang.org which provide better type safety.

Writerside – a new technical writing environment from JetBrains
Markdown and XML are nice, but what about more advanced documentation formats like OpenAPI? For one recent project, I set up automatic generation of the OpenAPI docs from (much more compact and flexible) CUE definitions (https://cuelang.org/) - which has the bonus of also being able to test the API against the definitions. JetBrains has a CUE plugin, but it's really barebones (doesn't even support jumping from the usage of a schema to its definition). Of course the possibilities when generating docs are endless (just think of the various syntaxes for doc comments, embedding examples/tests in source code etc.)...

Show HN: Config-file-validator – CLI tool to validate all your config files
It doesn't include validators for TOML and INI, but if you're doing JSON and YAML, I would take a look at using or building upon CUE (https://cuelang.org/). It is a different take on schema definition (plus more), and is surprising terse and powerful model.
