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 is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
We use kapp-controller when applying our charts (it uses helm template instead of helm install) so we can be very rigorous about what fields are changeable (like through pod autoscaling) and what are not (securitycontext, etc.)

How to handle the lifecycle of multiple COTS
Even further, you could describe your "fetch", "template", and "deploy" stages in akapp-controller AppCR and then you'd have a controller (like an operator) running the cluster continuously reconciling your private cloud to ensure that it's always reconverging to the desired state. This is basically what's underpinning a number of VMWare's commercial (and OSS) Tanzu offerings, as well as some other organization's internal platforms, or "self hosted private clouds"

ArgoCD vs. crossplane-helm provider for managing helm releases?
Full disclosure: I work on https://carvel.dev/kapp-controller/ which can also continuously reconcile helm charts (via our own CRD ).

Deploy IRIS Application to Azure Using CircleCI
What we’re going to install into the newly created AKS cluster is located in the helm directory. The descriptive Helmfile approach enables us to define applications and their settings in the helmfile.yaml file.

[2022] [Updated] Alternative to Helmfile
Is there any alternative to https://github.com/roboll/helmfile you are currently using in your company.

Projectsveltos: Manage Kubernetes addons in multiple clusters
Interesting, I have approached this problem using Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to define a “platform release package.”

How are you handling ILM on kubernetes?
To make managing the Helm deployments a little easier I used helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile).

Helm Charts Microservices
But in general it's always easier to keep things quite separated. Meaning in separate helm releases. If you want to be able to manage things "together" at will, then you can use helmfile ( https://github.com/roboll/helmfile )

How to Build Software Like an SRE
I agree; helm is too declarative.
Whenever I can, I use helmfile[0] for storing variables for helm since it does add a declarative layer on top of helm.

helmfile sync vs helmfile apply
I went through the Helmfile repo Readme to figure out the difference between helmfile sync and helmfile apply. It seems like unlike the apply command, the sync command doesn't do a diff and helm upgrades the hell out of all releases 😃. But from the word sync, you'd expect the command to apply those releases that have been changed. There is also mention of the potential application of helmfile apply to periodically syncing of releases. Why not use helmfile sync for this purpose? Overall, the difference didn't become crystal clear, and I though there could probably be more to it. So, I'm asking.

Managing multiple repos
helmfile is something i’ve used in the past for this https://github.com/roboll/helmfile

Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
I always felt like dependencies in helm are for very simple non-coupled packages. I many times use Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to manage dependencies instead of banging my head with vanilla Helm.

So I've installed grafana, loki, and prometheus on the personal Kubernetes cluster via Terraform. Now what?
Once you do that, learn to create dynamic helm charts that use go templating and conditionals: https://github.com/roboll/helmfile
