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.

How exactly does this work when going to production?
Disclaimer: I've not used this myself yet... but I've also been looking at how I can manage models in production too - came across https://www.balena.io/os

6 Trending Topics Every Embedded Learner Must Know in 2022
From what has been stated thus far, it becomes obvious that most of the opportunities would be in enabling containers for embedded targets. Currently companies like pantacor, BalenaOS, Toradex, Mender, and Foundries all offer solutions for containers for Linux-based embedded targets. This means that these solutions cannot support all types of embedded targets as not all have the computational power to support the needed underlying infrastructure. Right now, there is at least still a couple of other promising solutions out there that can support a wider range of controllers and are lighter weight, and don't require a Linux environment. For one, there is MicroEJ that aims to transform electronic "things" into smart things like Android transformed phones into smartphones. Another really interesting effort out there is Luos that provides an open-source lightweight microservices solution for distributed embedded devices.

Finestra issue with no bluetooth + solid blue light SOLVED
What i found out: After spending a lot of time looking stuff up and comparing the finestra files to a normal helium image , i figured out that they were pretty different which is why one of the other reddit solutions which involves using a normal helium image i wasnt such a big fan of because you lose some of the functionality of the finestras. Finestra internally use BalenaOS for their raspberry pi's and use a base image for raspberry pi 4 (64 bit) from here . A good chunk of what comes in a finestra and whats in the base image of BalenaOS is the same, mainly the differences being in the config.json file inside of the SD card of the finestra. Theres also a folder called overlays which has small differences between the 2 but im not sure exactly what they are since there are a lot of files. The contents should look similar to this.

Buildroot – Making Embedded Linux Easy
FWIW we recently started using the Yocto-based BalenaOS[0] in our project and have been rather happy with it because we get to focus on developing and running our software and don't have to bother with the low-level hardware stuff too much.
Unfortunately, as we're getting closer to shipping our product, we've realized that Balena seems to be rather cavalier when it comes to respecting software licenses. They offer pre-built .img files and Docker base images but don't provide a comprehensive list of licenses (let alone the source code) of third-party software components anywhere, as this issue[1] attests to. I'm currently talking to one of their customer service representatives and, as of this morning (when they sent me another email), they don't even acknowledge that this is an issue.
Looks like we'll now have to compile this list on our own. :\

Buildroot – Making Embedded Linux Easy
What's particularly neat about Buildroot is the support for reproducible builds.
I have an old project for building container images using buildroot ( https://github.com/br-containers/br-containers ) that I need to pick back up soon. Highly reproducible redis server images weighing in at under 10mb, with your choice of libc under it.
What are some alternatives?
