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

Learn why you can't ping a Kubernetes service
The destination is a pod IP address, and since Kubernetes guarantees that any pod can talk to any other pod in the cluster, the traffic can flow to the brown pod.

Murre - the lightweight K8s metrics monitoring tool
I wonder who will raise the glove and take that approach to use to post Metrics API resources instead of metrics-server.

Where is the best place to learn k8s?

Why helm doesn't use a general purpose programming language for defining resources?
I will point out that the shortcomings of parameterized templates are actually very well-understood by the Kubernetes community: see Declarative application management in Kubernetes and The Rationale behind kpt. Helm has significant mindshare because it was first to the scene / has network effects, it solves real problems, and presents a decent UX for chart users. It sits in this obnoxious local optimum of "good enough on Day 1, hot garbage nightmare on Day 100".
