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.

The advantage of WASM compared with container runtimes
Right now most early examples alas boot a container with a wasm runtime for each wasm instance, which is a sad waste. The whole advantage of wasm should be very lightweight low overhead wasm runtime instances atop a common wasm process. Having a process or container for each instance loses a ton of the benefit, makes it not much better than a regular container.
Thankfully there is work like the Containerd Sandbox API which enables new architectures like this. https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/4131
It's still being used to spawn a wasm processes per instance for now, but container runtime project Kuasar is already using the Sandbox API to save significant resources, and has already chimed in in comments on HN to express a desire to have shared-process/multi-wasm-instamxe runtimes, which could indeed allow sub ms spawning that could enable instance per request architectures. https://github.com/kuasar-io/kuasar

The Road To Kubernetes: How Older Technologies Add Up
Kubernetes on the backend used to utilize docker for much of its container runtime solutions. One of the modular features of Kubernetes is the ability to utilize a Container Runtime Interface or CRI. The problem was that Docker didn't really meet the spec properly and they had to maintain a shim to translate properly. Instead users could utilize the popular containerd or cri-o runtimes. These follow the Open Container Initiative or OCI's guidelines on container formats.

This is a failed attempt to upstream part of containerd changes: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/8789
Other part of containerd changes waits for gods-know-what: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/9054

Kubernetes Setup With WSL Control Plane and Raspberry Pi Workers
containerd is required by kubernetes to handle containers on its behalf. A big thanks to the HostAfrica blog for the information on setting containerd up for debain. So the containerd install will need to happen on both the WSL2 instance and the Raspberry Pis. For WSL2 you can just install containerd directly:

Bingo of the Kubernetes problems I found myself debugging over the past weeks. AMA :p
The context deadline exceeded: unknown is also in containerd, and is a known problem.

Hi peeps, I am getting error installing docker. Now let me give you some context. I was trying to install docker on the google colab notebook. As google colab is ubuntu under the hood. So I just followed the docker linux terminal installation commands.
