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.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
The authors have created a specialisation for Postgres that leverages a custom type which is a tuple of type and uuidv7: https://github.com/jetpack-io/typeid-sql/blob/main/sql/typei...
This is more optimal for Postgres while making it slightly more difficult to interop between the db and the language (db driver needs to handle custom types, and you need to inject a custom type converter).
And while there are hacks you can do to make storing uuid-alikes as strings less terrible for db engines, if you want the best performance and smallest space consumption (compressed or not) make sure to use native ID types or convert to BINARY/numeric types.

Type-safe, K-sortable, globally unique identifier inspired by Stripe IDs
We have a uuidv7 implementation that we've been using with rocksdb for over a year https://github.com/matrixai/js-id

Plan B for UUIDs: double AES-128
We evaluated ULID but we wanted something that is future proof for our decentralised secret sharing system. So we implemented UUIDv7 in TypeScript called `IdSortable` https://github.com/MatrixAI/js-id
It allows strict monotonic IDs when you provide it the previously generated ID. The resulting data structure is a Uint8Array making it easy to put into binary structures. Can also be used as a key inside any POJO record.

Lesser Known PostgreSQL Features
I had reviewed existing UUIDv7 implementations and many were incorrect or had subtle timing bugs.
We ended up implementing UUIDv7 in our ID generation library https://github.com/MatrixAI/js-id. And we have a number of tests ensuring that it is truly monotonic even across process restarts.
See IdSortable.
