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.

Nextflow: Data-Driven Computational Pipelines
I'm personally a huge fan of redun¹ for running computational pipelines. It's pure python, it's easy to learn/debug, it has automatic caching, retry, provenance logging, and a great integration with AWS Batch for running large jobs. I've been really impressed with how easy it is to run a job to completion that fans out to thousands of AWS spot instances at once.
I've used nextflow in the past, and I've found it to be much harder to use. Learning another DSL is annoying, documentation was sparse, I constantly ran into bugs, and it was hard to debug in general. I don't know how much it's changed over the past 3 years though.

Example typescript project repos?
If I was answering this question but for python, I'd recommend something like prefect, boto3, or tortoise-orm -- not extremely complex and with a pretty comprehensible featureset.

I have developed a simple Task Orchestrator
However, if you are looking for something like this, but much more mature and something of a bloat to be frank, there's Prefect. Honestly, woflo borrows a lot from Prefect conceptually.

Dabbling with Dagster vs. Airflow
Disclaimer: I work for Prefect.
It looks like we added cron and other schedule types to the deployment CLI just under a month ago[1].
Over the last couple of releases, we've also made it easier to pull deployments from GitHub or bake your flow code into Docker images instead of needing S3-like storage.
As with any product, there's always more to do, so I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. More than anywhere else I've worked, community feedback is a huge driver of product enhancements and feature development. Feel free to join our Slack community[2] if you'd like to share more feedback or ask questions.
