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.

Show HN: Alaz: Open-Source, Self-Hosted, eBPF-Based K8s Monitoring
I am really curious, why build another project that has similar features as another open source software pixie - https://px.dev/.

Open source alternatives to Grafana
Kibana is a good alternative if you can allow storing all your data in Elasticsearch, or you can use all-in-one monitoring tools like pixie https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie
-
Lens Dashboard for monitoring multiple AKS/EKS/... clusters
Plenty of paid monitoring solutions out there. Instana is pretty slick. NewRelic has a new open source tool, https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie

Too many cook in the kitchen? I find everyone just wanna create their own Kubernetes plugin solution.
Cilium multi-cluster mesh is a bit different, compared to service meshes, and it's L4, so should be fine with eBPF / XDP based routing. From observability standpoint I'd go for pixie - it should work just fine with both linkerd and istio, instead of Hubble, and Cilium's Tetragon was missing policies about 3-4 months ago (needs doublec-hecking if they had introduced any).

Launch HN: Odigos (YC W23) – Instant distributed tracing for Kubernetes clusters
Congratulations on the launch, and thank you for choosing an awesome license!
For an unrelated reason, today I was reminded about Pixie (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25375170 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31687978 and https://github.com/pixie-io/pixie#readme ), which says is also an ebpf kubernetes observability tool, also Apache licensed.
I suspect the difference may be your aspirations to move out of just kubernetes, but I wondered if that's the biggest difference between your project and theirs? Or maybe the C++ versus golang?
- Linux /proc/pid/stat parsing bugs
- Go based eBPF projects

Does mTLS add request latency due to ssl termination? Any best practices for performance?
eBPF solutions look cool though. I heard of https://px.dev/ which sounds similar to ciliums eBPF mesh recently.

Kubernetes Podcast episode 156: Opstrace, with Sebastien Pahl
Sebastien Pahl is a pioneer of container technology, building the predecessor to Docker as a co-founder of Dotcloud. After working at some big tech companies, he's back to the startup life as co-founder of Opstrace, a fully open source observability distribution, built on top of the tools you know and love.

Launch HN: Opstrace (YC S19) – open-source Datadog
Jan-Philip from Opstrace here, good morning. Would love to hear more, after all, when you know more :-). By the way, we had been asked about VictoriaMetrics before, here: https://github.com/opstrace/opstrace/discussions/98.
What are some alternatives?
cilium - eBPF-based Networking, Security, and Observability
loki - Like Prometheus, but for logs.

veneur - A distributed, fault-tolerant pipeline for observability data
tracer - 🧶 Dead simple, lightweight tracing.
cortex - A horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant, long term Prometheus.
statsviz - 🚀 Visualise your Go program runtime metrics in real time in the browser
