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.

Why is the Prometheus metric 'kube_pod_completion_time' returning empty query results?
https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/blob/main/docs/pod-metrics.md According to this github repo completion is responsible of termination date if I correctly understood .

Scaling kube-state-metrics in large cluster
I've never had a cluster of that size, so take it with a grain of salt - but maybe you could try purpose-based sharding? KSM has allowlist and denylist config flags, for configuring which metrics it exposes https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/blob/main/docs/cli-arguments.md

Questions about Kubernetes
Kubernetes itself will not notify you, the way I've seen people do this, is to use something like kube-state-metrics or node_exporter, export that to Prometheus (or preferrably VictoriaMetrics because Prometheus is terrible IMO), and then setup alarms on that with alertmanager or equivalent, or just look at dashboards regularly with Grafana. Realistically I recommend only setting alerts on disk usage and application/database latency. CPU and memory utilization isn't a great metric to alert on a lot of the time.

EKS scalability best practices
Another tip that you could consider spelling out a little more, is to monitor the number of resources created by Kind. This is somewhat mentioned for jobs and services, but any Kind of which thousands of resources are created will put stress on the control-plane. The total number of resources per namespace/cluster can be monitored with kube-state-metrics. KSM does not emit metrics of resources created from CRDs. These metrics can be implemented with KSM's custom resource state metrics: https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/blob/main/docs/customresourcestate-metrics.md

We then have various other Metrics called Kubernetes Workload Metrics. These are the dashboards with names that start with “Kubernetes / Compute Resources / Workload”. These dashboards are specific to the services you are running. They take into account the Kubernetes Workloads in your various namespaces, using kube-state-metrics. For a closer look, check out otel_demo_app_k8s_dashboard.tf.

Kubernetes Costs: Effective Cost Optimization Strategies To Reduce Your k8s Bill
The first step to optimizing costs is gaining visibility into your costs using tools. Kubernetes provides a Metrics Server and kube-state-metrics that can give you the overall picture of resource utilization by your cluster. There are more tools that provide more granular breakdowns and provide dashboards with business metrics, infra cost, and alerting functionalities. Here are some strategies to optimize your resource utilization and cloud bills on k8s.

Kubernetes CI/CD Pipelines
Applying Kubernetes manifests individually is problematic because files can get overlooked. Packaging your applications as Helm charts lets you version your manifests and easily repeat deployments into different environments. Helm tracks the state of each deployment as a "release" in your cluster.

How to take down production with a single Helm command
Explanation here: https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/12681#issuecomment-19593...
Looks like it's a bug in Helm, but actually isn't Helm's fault, the issue was introduced by Fedora Linux.

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
It’s also well understood that having a k8s cluster is not enough to make developers able to host their services - you need a devops team to work with them, using tools like delivery pipelines, Helm, kustomize, infra as code, service mesh, ingress, secrets management, key management - the list goes on! Developer Portals like Backstage, Port and Cortex have started to emerge to help manage some of this complexity.

Deploying a Web Service on a Cloud VPS Using Kubernetes MicroK8s: A Comprehensive Guide
Kubernetes orchestrates deployments and manages resources through yaml configuration files. While Kubernetes supports a wide array of resources and configurations, our aim in this tutorial is to maintain simplicity. For the sake of clarity and ease of understanding, we will use yaml configurations with hardcoded values. This method simplifies the learning process but isn’t ideal for production environments due to the need for manual updates with each new deployment. Although there are methods to streamline and automate this process, such as using Helm charts or bash scripts, we’ll not delve into those techniques to keep the tutorial manageable and avoid fatigue — you might be quite tired by that point!

Deploy Kubernetes in Minutes: Effortless Infrastructure Creation and Application Deployment with Cluster.dev and Helm Charts
Helm is a package manager that automates Kubernetes applications' creation, packaging, configuration, and deployment by combining your configuration files into a single reusable package. This eliminates the requirement to create the mentioned Kubernetes resources by ourselves since they have been implemented within the Helm chart. All we need to do is configure it as needed to match our requirements. From the public Helm chart repository, we can get the charts for common software packages like Consul, Jenkins SonarQube, etc. We can also create our own Helm charts for our custom applications so that we don’t need to repeat ourselves and simplify deployments.

Introduction to Helm: Comparison to its less-scary cousin APT
Generally I felt as if I was diving in the deepest of waters without the correct equipement and that was horrifying. Unfortunately to me, I had to dive even deeper before getting equiped with tools like ArgoCD, and k8slens. I had to start working with... HELM.
