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.

Centrifugo v4 released – with own WebSocket emulation layer, optimized client protocol, unified SDK behavior, experimental HTTP/3 and WebTransport support
Centrifugo can use Nats as PUB/SUB broker. I also tried to use Jetstream to implement Centrifugo history/recovery semantics – unfortunately Jetstream does not fit us very well as streams must be created over a separate call to admin API, and it's not possible to iterate/paginate over Jetstream streams to be suitable to current Centrifugo message history and recovery semantics (I asked about support for this – unfortunately the issue was closed and required API not implemented - https://github.com/nats-io/jetstream/issues/266, suggested solution is far from optimal for our use case).

On Efficiently Partitioning a Topic in Apache Kafka
https://liftbridge.io/
Apache Pulsar might be worth a look, but it's actually more complex under the hood than Kafka, but has a lot of features built-in that either aren't in FOSS Kafka yet, like tiered storage, or won't be until Confluent doesn't dominate the PMC (like an integrated schema registry), or just can't be done very nicely, if at all, like decent multi-tenancy.
That said, it's a fast moving target, the code quality last I looked was patchy in places, ditto the documentation for both it and Bookkeeper, and the admin overhead is higher (managing bookies and brokers and Zookeepers vs. just brokers and ZK with Kafka, or when KRaft is production ready, just brokers).

Processing billions of events in real time at Twitter
This is basically an ad for GCP right?
That said, it looks like Kafka is by far and away the way to handle persistent logs/events at scale. AFAIK a company here in Japan called LINE has all their messaging flowing through a large kafka cluster themselves.
Wonder if anyone is running large NATS Jetstream[0]/Liftbridge[1] or Pulsar[2] (yahoo runs those) clusters. I guess Pulsar might be #2 in terms of adoption at large scale?

- NATS, NATS Streaming & NATS JetStream + How to build a JetStream Cluster & Go Client
What are some alternatives?
Apache Kafka - Mirror of Apache Kafka
redpanda - Redpanda is a streaming data platform for developers. Kafka API compatible. 10x faster. No ZooKeeper. No JVM!
NATS - High-Performance server for NATS.io, the cloud and edge native messaging system.
Apache Pulsar - Apache Pulsar - distributed pub-sub messaging system
KrakenD - Ultra performant API Gateway with middlewares. A project hosted at The Linux Foundation
kafkacat - Generic command line non-JVM Apache Kafka producer and consumer [Moved to: https://github.com/edenhill/kcat]
glow - Glow is an easy-to-use distributed computation system written in Go, similar to Hadoop Map Reduce, Spark, Flink, Storm, etc. I am also working on another similar pure Go system, https://github.com/chrislusf/gleam , which is more flexible and more performant.
