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.

Comparing asio to unifex
I'm curious what led you to this conclusion. If you ran into scalability issues with its static_thread_pool, then that's a known issue. If it's something else, the authors (of which I'm one) would love to know.

How does one actually build a C++ project
Instead of calling add_executable you will call add_library. Here is a (only moderately complicated) production example of a library that can be built standalone (along with tests and example executables), or as a subproject, where it builds only the library

How to write networking code now that will be easiest to adapt to the upcoming standard?
My original thought was to build my DDS implementation on top of libunifex in anticipation for standardization: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex

Executors/libunifex example project
I'm trying to understand how to work with the proposed executors in a project, but after watching Eric Niebler's cppcon talks (https://youtu.be/xLboNIf7BTg) and looking at the libunifex examples (https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex/tree/main/examples) I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how to employ the sender/receiver pattern in a larger project.

Async/Await pattern in C++
You have coroutines in C++20 but there is also the executives proposal that's making it's way into C++23 that is available as a library under the name unifex that only requires C++14

Using Asio for asynchronous gRPC clients and servers
Asio-grpc makes exactly that possible by providing an Asio execution_context compatible interface to the CompletionQueue. It supports all types of RPCs (including generic ones), completion tokens, cancellation, as well as libunifex sender/receiver (if you want to try out what might become std::execution). The latest release (v1.7.0) also introduced a GrpcStream class for writing Rust/Golang select-style code.

"C++ makes it harder to shoot yourself, but when you do it blows your whole leg off"
All the network handling for Instagram and all other Meta apps on all platforms is handled by their own C++ library https://github.com/facebookexperimental/libunifex.

State of the art for CPOs (customization points) in C++?
This. I'd also like to mention libunifex. It's entirely based on tag_invoke and is a testament as to how much power it actually provides. On the other hand, it also proves how cumbersome it is to define CPOs with tag_invoke. But IMO it's a lot better than anything else anyone has ever created, and users usually don't need to define new CPOs, only library writers do, so there's that.

Why do we need networking, executors, linear algebra, etc in the Standard Library?

What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes?
My favourite was Microsoft's cpprestsdk, but for some reason now is in maintenance mode, I don't know why, so it's hard to suggest it for new projects. A nice alternative is restc-cpp, that's has a good high-level interface, if this is what you want.

REST library: production 'ready'

Have there been any attempts to build a REST API service on top of either Boost.asio or Boost.beast?
While it's not based on Boost Asio or Beast, Microsoft maintains a SDK for developing REST api's using C++, aptly named the C++ REST SDK. Here you can find the Github page. It pretty much covers everything you'd come to expect from a modern webserver package. It does come with a steep learning curve however.

Thriving in a Crowded and Changing World: C++ 2006–2020 [pdf]
>But is it truly practical to use in 'higher-abstraction' apps like web or mobile?
Yes absolutely. Once you become familiar with the language the barrier is not that high. Familiarity trumps everything else.
That said, since i am not a Web/mobile developer i had collected some resources to help me learn how to use C++ for Web/Mobile apps, you may find it useful;

cpprestsdk in maintenance mode
I was starting a project that needs to read data with rest API and I'd like to use cpprestsdk from Microsoft. But it's readme says that's in maintenance mode and it's not recommended for new projects... I'd like to know why it's in maintenance mode, and if it will be abandoned. Also, if there's some equivalent library for cpp, instead of creating the business logic from scratch, i.e. with boost::beast.
What are some alternatives?
cppcoro - A library of C++ coroutine abstractions for the coroutines TS
Boost.Beast - HTTP and WebSocket built on Boost.Asio in C++11
concurrencpp - Modern concurrency for C++. Tasks, executors, timers and C++20 coroutines to rule them all
libcurl - A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features
Taskflow - A General-purpose Parallel and Heterogeneous Task Programming System
Restbed - Corvusoft's Restbed framework brings asynchronous RESTful functionality to C++14 applications.
POCO - The POCO C++ Libraries are powerful cross-platform C++ libraries for building network- and internet-based applications that run on desktop, server, mobile, IoT, and embedded systems.
corrade - C++11 multiplatform utility library
