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.

Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads?
Read through the comments and was surprised no one mentioned libvips - https://github.com/libvips/libvips. At my current small company we were trying to allow image uploads and started with imagemagick but certain images took too long to process and we were looking for faster alternatives. It's a great tool with minimum overhead. For video thumbnails, we use ffmpeg which is really heavy. We off-load video thumbnail generation to a queue. We've had great luck with these tools.

Building an online image compressor
After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

Things you might not know about Next Image
Sharp is a fast and efficient image optimization Node.js module that makes use of the native libvips library.
-
Go Image Converting
h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

.Webp is the bane of my existence
if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

How are responsive image sets are generated, stored, and managed server-side?
The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.

imagor v1 - a fast, Docker-ready image processing server in Go, libvips and more
imagor uses one of the most efficient image processing library libvips. It is typically 4-8x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.

Image library for fast read of huge Tif files?
in that case maybe take a look at https://github.com/libvips/libvips

I'd say Sidekiq is the top competitor here.

Valkey Is Rapidly Overtaking Redis
There's something wrong at Redislabs, it took them over a year to get RESP3 rolled out into their hosted service, you'd expect a rollout of that to be a bit quicker when they're the owner of Redis.
It affected us when upgrading Sidekiq to version 7, which dropped support for older Redis, and their Envoy proxy setup didn't support HELLO and RESP3: https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/issues/5594

Redis Re-Implemented with SQLite
That depends on how the `maxmemory-policy` is configured, and queue systems based on Redis will tell you not to allow eviction. https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/wiki/Using-Redis#memory (it even logs a warnings if it detects your Redis is misconfigured IIRC).

3 one-person million dollar online businesses
Sidekiq https://sidekiq.org/: This one started as an open source project, once it got enough traction, the developer made a premium version of it, and makes money by selling licenses to businesses.

Choose Postgres Queue Technology
Sidekiq will drop in-progress jobs when a worker crashes. Sidekiq Pro can recover those jobs but with a large delay. Sidekiq is excellent overall but it’s not suitable for processing critical jobs with a low latency guarantee.

We built the fastest CI in the world. It failed
> I'm not sure feature withholding has traditionally worked out well in the developer space.
I think it's worked out well for Sidekiq (https://sidekiq.org). I really like their model of layering valuable features between the OSS / Pro / Enterprise licenses.

Exploring concurrent rate limiters, mutexes, semaphores
I was studying Sidekiq's page on rate limiters. The first type of rate limiting mentioned is the concurrent limiter: only n tasks are allowed to run at any point in time. Note that this is independent of time units (e.g. per second), or how long they take to run. The only limitation is the number of concurrent tasks/requests.

Organize Business Logic in Your Ruby on Rails Application
The code above isn't idempotent. If you run it twice, it will create two copies, which is probably not what you intended. Why is this important? Because most backend job processors like Sidekiq don't make any guarantees that your jobs will run exactly once.
What are some alternatives?
OpenCV - Open Source Computer Vision Library
Resque - Resque is a Redis-backed Ruby library for creating background jobs, placing them on multiple queues, and processing them later.
imagick - Go binding to ImageMagick's MagickWand C API
Sneakers - A fast background processing framework for Ruby and RabbitMQ
sharp - High performance Node.js image processing, the fastest module to resize JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF images. Uses the libvips library.
Shoryuken - A super efficient Amazon SQS thread based message processor for Ruby
GD - GD Graphics Library
Sucker Punch - Sucker Punch is a Ruby asynchronous processing library using concurrent-ruby, heavily influenced by Sidekiq and girl_friday.
tesseract-ocr - Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine (main repository)
Apache Kafka - Mirror of Apache Kafka
FreeImage - A custom distribution of FreeImage, with a CMake-based build system. Used by the Athena Game Framework.
