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.

K8s vs Docker Swarm
So the thing is support for Swarm was delegated to Mirantis, https://www.mirantis.com/blog/mirantis-will-continue-to-support-and-develop-docker-swarm/ since it was delegated very little was done to move forward swarm _> https://github.com/moby/swarmkit/commits/master , docker swarm itself (docker the company) is deprecated https://github.com/docker-archive/classicswarm . I think because there's no way to monetize swarm there's no real push for new features hence my assumption of deprecation.

Or are you talking about swarm the product (versus docker swarm mode)

Docker 23.0.0 is out
I don’t feel a momentum in Docker Swarm development, seeing pull requests like #3072 sitting idle for half a year, originally from 2016.

Looking to containerize a large production scale nodejs app
privileged not being supported is problematic, but there are PRs for it on swarmkit, see https://github.com/moby/swarmkit/pull/3072 - let's see if that gets in.
Yeah, but it seems dozens of users is not enough to really keep Docker Swarm up-to-date. privileged not working in Swarm (issue #1030 from 2016, again pull request #3072 from 2022), configs and secrets not update-able (workaround) and not write-able within container, I find that really annoying.
-
Is docker still the solution for On-Premesis containerization?
It is already in a different repo: moby/swarmkit
The sad thing is there are issues and even pull requests open since 2016, but it seems no one cares anymore. Mirantis bought the Docker Swarm part, but it does not show up as product on their homepage, there seems little development, despite their positive posts. Sometimes Docker employees accept some changes to the repo.

Why docker swarm is not popular as Kubernetes?
Mostly it just needs resource defaults merged and some abstract type support so load balancer config doesn't have to be entirely by labels and I would never shift from it.

I’m a software engineer that had to learn ops. I am not always sure how to set thinks properly. Any course / tutorial to follow?
This is your first mistake, imho. Last activity in their github repo is two months ago development has either been paused or halted. Use EKS.

Authenticated Docker Hub image pulls in Kubernetes
The general problem of patching resource definitions that are not fully under your control has also been recognized for some time. This is true of default resources created and updated by cluster maintenance tools (e.g. kOps), or by public helm charts that you use to install common services and operators (e.g. nginx-ingress, cert-manager, and so on). High quality charts will allow you to override the configuration of important components such as service account references, but some simpler charts offer much less configuration.

Kubernetes from Scratch in 2022
Kops is a cluster setup and management command line tool that deploys a Kubernetes cluster to AWS. It provides configuration abstractions such as manifest YAML files that facilitate node and components configuration. And like Ansible, it will provide dry-run capabilities and ensures idempotency of changing the nodes.

Don't Use Kubernetes, Yet
I highly recommend the kops[1] tool from Kubernetes if opting to deploy/manage Kubernetes yourself. I’ve had great experiences with it in the past (have been using since before EKS or Fargate existed).
kops let’s you define your Kubernetes cluster in yaml, then can deploy directly or output terraform that you can use to deploy.

Choosing the Best Kubernetes Cluster and Application Deployment Strategies
A variety of management services and open-source tools are emerging that address these problems. Well-known open source tools include kOps and kubespray, both developed under the auspices of Kubernetes special interest groups (SIGs). There are also a number of SaaS and hosted services. (See the blog, How a Hosted Software Delivery Model Differs from SaaS for Kubernetes Management and Operations.)

My "infrastructure as code" tool to manage production-grade clusters
it takes too much time, terraform configs are not easy to use also. Pulumi is much better to maintenance. Cloudy is good enough for launching a production-ready cluster in 5-10 minutes. It could be an alternative to kops
What are some alternatives?
kubespray - Deploy a Production Ready Kubernetes Cluster
k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes
cluster-api - Home for Cluster API, a subproject of sig-cluster-lifecycle
rancher - Complete container management platform
kubeadm - Aggregator for issues filed against kubeadm
microk8s - MicroK8s is a small, fast, single-package Kubernetes for datacenters and the edge.
eksctl - The official CLI for Amazon EKS
helm - The Kubernetes Package Manager
aws-node-termination-handler - Gracefully handle EC2 instance shutdown within Kubernetes

minikube - Run Kubernetes locally
