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.

Cloud Tools You Probably Haven't Heard Of
Steampipe is a tool for querying cloud APIs and other data sources using SQL in a zero-ETL manner.

Show HN: Query Your Sheets with SheetSQL
Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

Osquery: An sqlite3 virtual table exposing operating system data to SQL
be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)
iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

How to run an AWS CIS v3.0 assessment in CloudShell
In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Cutting down AWS cost by $150k per year simply by shutting things off
Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.

Zero-ETL for Postgres: Live-query cloud APIs with 100 open source FDWs
Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!

TypeSpec: A New Language for API-Centric Development
If you are in a situation where you have a backend and you want to expose an API and then you would eventually want a client, you would need format specs as the starting point where server and clients are generated from that one source.
At the moment, OpenAPI with YAML is the only way to go but you can't easily split the spec into separate files as you would do any program with packages, modules and what not.
There are third party tools[0] which are archived and the libraries they depend upon are up for adoption.
In that space, either you can use something like cue language 1] or something like TypeSpec which is purpose built for this so yet, this seems like a great tool although I have not tried it yet myself.

Show HN: Workout Tracker – self-hosted, single binary web application
Where `kube.cue` sets reasonable defaults (e.g. image is /). The "cluster" runs on a mini PC in my basement, and I have a small Digital Ocean VM with a static IP acting as an ingress (networking via Tailscale). Backups to cloud storage with restic, alerting/monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, Caddy/Tailscale for local ingress.

Apple releases Pkl – onfiguration as code language
I've been somewhat surprised that CUE bills itself as "tooling friendly" and doesn't yet have a language server- the number one bit of tooling most devs use for a particular language.
I'm assuming it's becaus CUE is still unstable?
Anyway, if others are interested in CUE's LSP work, I think https://github.com/cue-lang/cue/issues/142 is the issue to subscribe to

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management

Lua is a viable alternative for JSON
If you really want executable configurations please consider a newer language like https://dascript.org or https://cuelang.org which provide better type safety.

Writerside – a new technical writing environment from JetBrains
Markdown and XML are nice, but what about more advanced documentation formats like OpenAPI? For one recent project, I set up automatic generation of the OpenAPI docs from (much more compact and flexible) CUE definitions (https://cuelang.org/) - which has the bonus of also being able to test the API against the definitions. JetBrains has a CUE plugin, but it's really barebones (doesn't even support jumping from the usage of a schema to its definition). Of course the possibilities when generating docs are endless (just think of the various syntaxes for doc comments, embedding examples/tests in source code etc.)...

Show HN: Config-file-validator – CLI tool to validate all your config files
It doesn't include validators for TOML and INI, but if you're doing JSON and YAML, I would take a look at using or building upon CUE (https://cuelang.org/). It is a different take on schema definition (plus more), and is surprising terse and powerful model.
