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.
process-compose
- Process Compose: flexible scheduler to manage non-containerized apps
-
Show HN: Is_ready – Wait for many services to become available – 0 Dependencies
The IMO superior https://github.com/F1bonacc1/process-compose project has this built in, while allowing to manage regular programs that don't require containers.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
Devbox can also run services too. Both products use an awesome process runner called process-compose (https://github.com/f1bonacc1/process-compose/) which is worth checking out (it's even built with nix!)

Container + SSH = a good development environment
I've been using https://github.com/F1bonacc1/process-compose with great success.
It's a userspace process compositor that works across all relevant platforms, supporting daemon processes and k8s style readiness/health checks.
In combination with nix flakes, it quickly reduced my projects docker-compose usage for easy-to-configure services.
This gave huge performance benefits for the M1 Mac folks on my team especially for CPU intensive processes thanks to native binaries.
For maximal ease of use, the remaining docker-compose containers are started/stopped as a process-compose task.

If docker-compose and K9S had a baby (without the containers gene)
In order to run a simple client-server (1 client, 5 servers) application, I wrote a simple docker-compose file and everything worked great. My dev flow would be the usual: make some changes/optimizations, spin everything up, run a bunch of tests, and go back to step one. At some point, I felt that for my dev environment and language (Linux, golang). docker-compose is great for spinning everything up, but for rapid development, it actually slows me down. I didn't really need containers. I tried to find an alternative solution. Something like a docker-compose, but for native processes, but most of the tools that I found were CI/CD oriented. I like K9S (who doesn't?) and I like docker-compose (some don't), so I built a Frankenstein Monster of them both :) https://github.com/F1bonacc1/process-compose I am not sure if you'll find it as useful as I do, but in any case, any feedback is more than welcome.

Building a highly optimized home environment with Nix
I'm new to the Nix world, but so far I've come across Divnix's Digga, Numtide's DevShell, and Misterio77's nix-starter-configs.

Annoncing Shix, tailored development shells made with Nix
How does it differ from https://github.com/numtide/devshell ?

Nim packages stats
But take a look at devshell is like the NixOS/HomeManager of your (any language) project. I over abused it to create YAML files and to use Nim as script
