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-Compose – The Docker-compose like tool for K8s development
We've been using Helmsman (https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman) for the same use case. It supports some other creature comforts (automatic fetching of parameters from AWS SSM, chart ordering, etc.) and seems a bit more mature.

Which GitOps for very small teams?
I've been using https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman for quite a few years now. Very pleased with it.

[2022] [Updated] Alternative to Helmfile
Have you looked at https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman ?

How do you deliver Kubernetes applications in 2022?
Kustomize manifests. Each microservice in its own folder. We have around 10 microservices, so it works for us. Db/metrics/monitoring/operators go into a Helmsman file.

Terraform/helm and environment variables
I'm using Helmsman. It's a wrapper around Helm that allows you to inject environmental variables, amongst other things. It allows me to easily inject environmental variables from my Gitlab CI/CD into my Helm release.

How do you automate Helm charts installation?
Here's some issues where people asked the same question: https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman/issues/18 https://github.com/roboll/helmfile/issues/240

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
Kustomize: It provides a solution to customize the Kubernetes resource base configuration and differential configuration without template and DSL. It does not solve the constraint problem itself, but needs to cooperate with a large number of additional tools to check constraints, such as Kube-linter, Checkov and kubescape.

Dealing with Yaml files
Kube linter would be a first citizen for your need https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter. If you use Helm would be Helm linter as well. Kube score is another interesting tool offering you best practices patterns. I usually develop with vscode and have a Yaml + Kubernetes extension. These could be enough to help you get through. Nevertheless, consider adopting a skaffold with a k3s for a faster feedback on the local dev lifecycle.

Kubernetes YAML Linter for vscode?
Another great tool is KubeLinter which checks for a lot of helpful stuff, including dangling references. This is nice, but it is a command-line tool, so I don't get live feedback in my editor.

Implement DevSecOps to Secure your CI/CD pipeline
It is always a good practice to scan your Kubernetes deployment or Helm chart before deploying. We can use Checkov to scans Kubernetes manifests and identifies security and configuration issues. It also supports Helm chart scanning. We can also use terrascan and kubeLinter to scan the Kubernetes manifest.

How to validate Kubernetes YAML files
Its worth mentioning about Kube-linter (https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter) its FOSS and has a very minimal and effective set of commands
