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.

Microsoft opens sources ThreadX RTOS used in Raspberry Pis
It is not open source. The source code is open but with an evaluation, i.e. proprietary license:

Eclipse ThreadX
License looked alright, until I came across this: https://github.com/azure-rtos/threadx/blob/a8e5d0946c31385ff...

PlatformIO and Zephyr is a bad idea
Portability, mainly. Zephyr runs on a wide variety of architectures and 450+ variations of popular boards are already supported upstream (adding more often being pretty easy). In your particular example, your own preferences with regards to building on top of open-source software may play a role too. For example, Azure RTOS is not open source, and its license will, among other things, prevent you to use it in production on other hardware than what's listed herehere. So easily moving from one hardware vendor / SoC to the other might be a problem, should this be a requirement (and it kind of becomes one for a lot of people in these times if silicon shortage)

Linux vs. QNX/VxWorks for a climate control system - Education
Honestly as long as you use one of the supported MCU families ThreadX is probably a better choice these days given how much better NetX is over FreeRTOS’ TCP implementation.

As a guess, what percentage of embedded projects actually need the R in RTOS?
Azure RTOS/ThreadX is only free on approved pre-licensed uCs, but with that said, there's a ton of devices covered by it so it's an option for a lot of projects.

What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?
I'm interested in something equivalent to tx_byte_pool but for non-embedded usage where I want a custom allocator for defined pools. Do you know if mimalloc can do this? I see it has custom heaps, but I didn't see any functions to create one from raw memory.

Thoughts? They look great though!
source is apparently available but no idea what licensing it uses

What is the industry standard today in C++ to deploy REST microservices in Kubernetes?
In my past job, we used https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio and absolutely loved it. It's not as active but it honestly didn't need much.

What are some fun project ideas with C++?
Here's a C++ REST framework for you to use too: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio

I had a good experience using restinio for a small ASIO HTTP server recently.

Can I use C++ in the backend ?? Any frameworks there ??
It uses restinio https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio with great success ;)

Confused about beginning application development using c++. Pls help.
For networking, pick a networking library. Restinio is a fair choice for HTTP. But, again, feel free to pick others.

NodeJS vs Go for low memory usage
You may find this worthwhile: https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio/issues/101 FWIW, I used Restbed successfully for 3.5 years before switching personal projects to Restino. I've left the job that used Restbed, but I think they are still using it.

What does modern (good) API development look like and what are the best tools to use?
Contrary to the direction most people go, I've been writing REST APIs as C++ servers using two different fairly full featured C++ REST frameworks: first using https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed and more lately using https://github.com/Stiffstream/restinio. These can be peers with any other server, while living on embedded and/or high compute devices for video encode/decode/analysis, deployed ML models, encryption for and remote process communications, model data collection and similar expensive or in-field processing. In both high compute and in-field-no-internet situations creating REST APIs in C++ enables speed and system controls not present in the majority of the mainstream REST frameworks. It's a big world, and here comes ubiquitous high compute...

cpprestsdk in maintenance mode
If you need an embedded C++ HTTP server then there are plenty of libraries/frameworks (in random order): Crow, RESTinio, Boost.Beast, cpp-httplib, http_backend, Pistache, RestBed, served, proxygen, Simple-Web-Server, drogon, oat++.
