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.

Is async runtime (Tokio) overhead significant for a "real-time" video stream server?
I've been looking at open source video conferencing software options, specifically Jitsi. When reading their deployment docs the phrase "real time" comes up occasionally, for example:
-
Zoom Video adding advertisements to the free tier of its service
It stops being peer-to-peer as soon as there are more than two participants (i.e more than one destination for the stream). Jitsi uses their Videobridge https://jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/ as a central server to do the multiplexing.

I want to share my latest hobby project, dbeel: A distributed thread-per-core nosql db written in rust
I used glommio as the async executor (instead of something like tokio), and it is wonderful. For people wondering whether it's "good enough" or to use C++ and seastar (as I have thought about a lot before starting this project), take the leap of faith, it's fast - both in terms of run time and to code.

The State of Async Rust
My understanding is you always need a runtime, somethings needs to drive the async flow. But there are others on the market, just not without the.. market domination... of tokio.
https://github.com/smol-rs/smol looks promising simply for being minimal
https://github.com/bytedance/monoio looks potentially easier to work with than tokio
https://github.com/DataDog/glommio is built around linux io_uring and seems somewhat promising for performance reasons.
I haven't played with any of these yet, because Tokio is unfortunately the path of least resistance. And a bit viral in how it's infected tings.

Learning Async Rust with Too Many Web Servers
I think you missed one which is based on io_uring [1].
In my benchmarks with a slightly tweaked version it was 2x faster than Nginx and and 30x faster than Python's SimpleHttpServer.

How much reason is there to be multi-threaded in the k8s environment
b) It's proven now e.g Seastar, Glommio that the fastest way to run a multi-threaded application is to have one instance with one thread pinned per CPU core. Then to have fibers/lightweight threads on top handling all of the asynchronous code. Your approach of lots of instances is the slowest so there will be a ton of unnecessary thread context-switching.
-
Why does Actix-web's handler not require Send?
I assume Tokio itself, see e.g monoio or glommio, but also Seastar for C++.

Use io_uring for network I/O
> Few of us have really figured out io_uring. But that doesn't mean it is slower.
seastar.io is a high level framework that I believe has "figured out" io_uring, with additional caveats the framework imposes (which is honestly freeing).

Is async runtime (Tokio) overhead significant for a "real-time" video stream server?
This use case is perfect for https://github.com/DataDog/glommio which is a thread-per-core runtime that is appropriate for latency sensitive code.

Blessed.rs – An unofficial guide to the Rust ecosystem
It's worth mentioning: Under "Async Executors", for "io_uring" there is only "Glommio"
I recently found out that ByteDance has a competitor library which supposedly has better performance:

Building a High-Performance DB Buffer Pool in Zig W\ Io_uring New Fixed-Buffers
FYI, Datadog has a Rust library for scheduling things to run thread-per-core with io_uring
It'd be really useful for DB use cases:
