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.

Using Terraform to both create kubernetes clusters (AKS) and deploy helm charts in the same project - good or bad?
IMO, a better approach would be to provision your cluster using terraform, then do cluster operations using a GitOps tool, such as GitOps Toolkit (Flux v2) - https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/. You can point multiple clusters to the same repo and they are going to apply and reconcile the desired state for all or your clusters if needed. There’s also a Flux terraform provider - https://github.com/fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux, bootstrap flux then let it do its job.
- Does anyone use terraform to manage Kubernetes objects as opposed to using plain yamls/helm charts/kustomize?

How do you automate Helm charts installation?
You could try this: https://github.com/fluxcd/terraform-provider-flux

Deploy IRIS Application to Azure Using CircleCI
What we’re going to install into the newly created AKS cluster is located in the helm directory. The descriptive Helmfile approach enables us to define applications and their settings in the helmfile.yaml file.

[2022] [Updated] Alternative to Helmfile
Is there any alternative to https://github.com/roboll/helmfile you are currently using in your company.

Projectsveltos: Manage Kubernetes addons in multiple clusters
Interesting, I have approached this problem using Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to define a “platform release package.”
-
How are you handling ILM on kubernetes?
To make managing the Helm deployments a little easier I used helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile).

Helm Charts Microservices
But in general it's always easier to keep things quite separated. Meaning in separate helm releases. If you want to be able to manage things "together" at will, then you can use helmfile ( https://github.com/roboll/helmfile )

How to Build Software Like an SRE
I agree; helm is too declarative.
Whenever I can, I use helmfile[0] for storing variables for helm since it does add a declarative layer on top of helm.

helmfile sync vs helmfile apply
I went through the Helmfile repo Readme to figure out the difference between helmfile sync and helmfile apply. It seems like unlike the apply command, the sync command doesn't do a diff and helm upgrades the hell out of all releases 😃. But from the word sync, you'd expect the command to apply those releases that have been changed. There is also mention of the potential application of helmfile apply to periodically syncing of releases. Why not use helmfile sync for this purpose? Overall, the difference didn't become crystal clear, and I though there could probably be more to it. So, I'm asking.

Managing multiple repos
helmfile is something i’ve used in the past for this https://github.com/roboll/helmfile

Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
I always felt like dependencies in helm are for very simple non-coupled packages. I many times use Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to manage dependencies instead of banging my head with vanilla Helm.

So I've installed grafana, loki, and prometheus on the personal Kubernetes cluster via Terraform. Now what?
Once you do that, learn to create dynamic helm charts that use go templating and conditionals: https://github.com/roboll/helmfile
