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 ).

Acorn: A lightweight PaaS for Kubernertes, from Rancher founders
Here at Suse we looked at https://github.com/theketchio/ketch and the founder for Acorn did some diligence there. Is it a copy?

Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
An idea may be to look at something like Ketch, and potentially combine it with Pulumi, TF, or others. Here is an example
-
A simple application deployment framework for Kubernetes!!
You have some more “established” tools, such as Ketch but from what I’ve seen, many people are building it in house by using tools such as Helm, Crossplane, or others
-
Application deployment framework.
Pretty much what Ketch has been doing for a while already, and Ketch is part of a larger app platform
-
Acorn - the new cool kid for app deployment to Kubernetes
Pretty much what Ketch has been doing for a while now
-
Automatic generation of Manifest files.
Another option you have is to use open source projects like Ketch that can make this process more "developer friendly". Here is an example
-
Deploying Python apps on Kubernetes without complexities
Because of that, we have created an open-source project called Ketch to make life easier when deploying apps on K8s.
-
Nodejs App From Code To Kubernetes Cluster
The team is excited about enabling developers to focus on their application code instead of infrastructure. We would love it if you could show your support by starring the project on GitHub and sharing this article with your teammates.
-
Stronger abstraction for deployments
It might be worth having a look at the open source project Ketch
-
Deploying applications on Kubernetes using TypeScript
Instead, by combining the application-focused approach from Ketch with the IaC model from Pulumi, developers can have an application-focused layer they can leverage to quickly deploy their applications without getting into the underlying infrastructure details exposed by Kubernetes.
