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.

Building Resilience with Chaos Engineering and Litmus
Litmus, Gremlin, Chaos Mesh, and Chaos Monkey are all popular open-source tools used for chaos engineering. As we will be using AWS cloud infrastructure, we will also explore AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS). While they share the same goals of testing and improving the resilience of a system, there are some differences between them. Here are some comparisons:

Strategies for Writing More Effective Tests in Golang
This LFX quarter I got to get my hands on LitmusChaos, a CNCF incubating opensource project that dives deep on making cloud-native chaos-engineering accessible to multiple developer personas.

Introduction to Chaos Engineering
In 2010 Netflix developed a tool called "Chaos Monkey", whose goal was to randomly take down compute services (such as virtual machines or containers), part of the Netflix production environment, and test the impact on the overall Netflix service experience. In 2011 Netflix released a toolset called "The Simian Army", which added more capabilities to the Chaos Monkey, from reliability, security, and resiliency (i.e., Chaos Kong which simulates an entire AWS region going down). In 2012, Chaos Monkey became an open-source project (under Apache 2.0 license). In 2016, a company called Gremlin released the first "Failure-as-a-Service" platform. In 2017, the LitmusChaos project was announced, which provides chaos jobs in Kubernetes. In 2019, Alibaba Cloud announced ChaosBlade, an open-source Chaos Engineering tool. In 2020, Chaos Mesh 1.0 was announced as generally available, an open-source cloud-native chaos engineering platform. In 2021, AWS announced the general availability of AWS Fault Injection Simulator, a fully managed service to run controlled experiments.

Building a More Robust Apache APISIX Ingress Controller With Litmus Chaos
Litmus Chaos is an open-source Chaos Engineering framework that provides an infrastructure experimental framework to validate the stability of controllers and microservices architectures. It can simulate various environments, such as container-level and application-level environments, natural disasters, faults, and upgrades, to understand how the system responds to these changes. The framework can also explore the behavior changes between controllers and applications, and how controllers respond to challenges in specific states. Litmus Chaos offers convenient observability integration capabilities and is highly extensible.

From KubeCon to my first keynote as a DevRel
When the workshop was over, I headed back to the conference pavilion to attend the LitmusChaos Project Office Hours. These discussion events are great because they allow you to learn more about the project ask questions, meet the maintainers, and learn about new features and upcoming updates.

How I would automate monitoring DNS queries in basic Prometheus
https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/blob/master/...
So you need 2 modules, one for each ip version. As for autamating setting these up, we deploy our Prometheus server with salt so we can use Jinja templating in all our Prometheus config files. That really cuts down on repeating boiler plate code.
This is also interesting for other reasons; in host downtime situations you can sometime see they will drop one type of traffic and not the other.

Raspberry Pi Remote Server Monitoring over Wifi: Micropython code to monitor tcp port using usocket
A Pi is more than enough to run a full monitoring stack. Why reinvent the wheel?
- Service for monitoring your external IP adresses from a file.

Uplink Monitor - Internal IP's to External Facing Status Page
You can also use the blackbox_exporter to probe various endpoints. But in reality, you don't need to do this most of the time since the up metric gets you what you want.

Use prometheus+grafana for bug bounty / pentesting data collection
I have seen some people doing with these traditional relational databases, and I was wondering if it could be a good fit for prometheus+grafana as I have been messing around with prometheus BlackBox exporter (https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter) for web status monitoring.

Prometheus Monitoring Checklist
You should look into the projects https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter and https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter

Uptime monitoring (~1000 urls)
You could use prometheus as a monitoring tool, blackbox_exporter to "export" the urls to prometheus, alertmanager for notifications, and grafana for nice gui dashboards (and maybe also notifications).
