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.

The Magic Nix Cache
- the caching works across branches, so for example merging a feature branch to master, if nothing changes the build on master will be very quick
I created something similar to nix-cache for gitlab, but I had to create a dedicated runner running NixOS.
If I could use NixOS for deployment, at that point I would just point the same binary cache to the machine and use the same derivation to build the app. Because the app was already build by CI, it would just download the compiled version. No need for artifactory or similar. In that scenario (you using poetry) you probably would just use poetry2nix to generate the application.
If the OS is not NixOS, but you still want to deploy via nix, then IMO this[2] looks interesting, basically it packages everything in self extracting archive. That you can extract and then run the app.
Other alternatives are these bundlers[3], which includes building toArx (works in a way similar to the previous one but pretends everything is in a single file), RPM, DEB, docker (you would have more control over it if you would use the code directly instead of a bundler though)
And the last option (probably the most obvious one) is that you can simply just use the tool to build the package. Since you're using poetry, then you can generate a wheel from it.

The Magic Nix Cache
One project cut their CI time from 18m to 3m: https://github.com/awkward-squad/hasql-interpolate/actions. I wonder who will see the biggest cut!
Note that when PRs merge to the default branch, their cache doesn't come with them. This is how GitHub Action's cache works, as a security measure. However: subsequent rebuilds will, and PRs off the default branch will too.
What are some alternatives?
bundlers
nix-cde - Nix Common Development Environment
flakeforge - Container registry generating container image tarfiles on the fly
node2nix - Generate Nix expressions to build NPM packages
nixpkgs - Nix Packages collection & NixOS
