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.

Kraken Technologies: How we organise our large Python monolith
Never heard of https://import-linter.readthedocs.io/ before. Not sure if I like this type of solution, but it's interesting, and certainly the problem is real.

Maintain a Clean Architecture in Python with Dependency Rules
Before clicking on this, I expected to see import-linter [0] which achieves something very similar but with, in my opinion, a bit less magic. Another solution in a similar spirit is Pants [1], though this is actually a build system which allows you to constrain dependencies between different artifacts (e.g. which modules are allowed to depend on which modules).
To Sourcery's credit, their product looks much more in the realm of "developer experience" -- closer to Copilot (or what I understand of it) than to import-linter. Props to them for at least having a page about security [2] and building a solution which doesn't inherently require all of your source code to be shared with a vendor's server.
