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.

Setting up a WebSocket server in Node.js
Before setting up a WebSocket server in Node.js, we need to install the necessary dependencies. Fortunately, Node.js has a vibrant ecosystem with various WebSocket libraries available. In this article, we will focus on using the popular ws library, which provides a simple and efficient WebSocket implementation for Node.js.

Render.com and Websocket: Connection randomly being closed after 5-ish minutes?
I'm trying out Render.com as a potential replacement for Heroku to host and run my code, which uses Node, Express, and the ws package to connect a game made on Godot Engine and the webapp, using a Websocket connection. However, when I migrated the code over, I've noticed that the game lasts barely a quarter of the way before the server aborts the Websocket connection for literally no reason. I'm serious, it's what the log says:

Golang: out-of-box backpressure handling with gRPC, proven by a Grafana dashboard
gRPC, built on HTTP/2, inherently supports flow control. The server can push updates, but it must also respect flow control signals from the client, ensuring that it doesn't send data faster than what the client can handle.

Reverse Engineering Protobuf Definitions from Compiled Binaries
Yes, grpc_cli tool uses essentially the same mechanism except implemented as a grpc service rather than as a stubby service. The basic principle of both is implementing the C++ proto library's DescriptorDatabase interface with cached recursive queries of (usually) the server's compiled in FileDescriptorProtos.
See also https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/server-reflecti...
The primary difference between what grpc does and what stubby does is that grpc uses a stream to ensure that the reflection requests all go to the same server to avoid incompatible version skew and duplicate proto transmissions. With that said, in practice version skew is rarely a problem for grpc_cli style "issue a single RPC" usecases: even if requests do go to two or more different versions of a binary that might have incompatible proto graphs, it is very common for the request and response and RPC to all be in the same proto file so you only need to make one RPC in the first place unless you're using an extension mechanism like proto2 extensions or google.protobuf.Any.

gRPC Name Resolution & Load Balancing on Kubernetes: Everything you need to know (and probably a bit more)
The loadBalancingConfig is what we use in order to decide which policy to go for (round_robin in this case). This JSON representation is based on a protobuf message, then why does the name resolver returns it in the JSON format? The main reason is that loadBalancingConfig is a oneof field inside the proto message and so it can not contain values unknown to the gRPC if used in the proto format. The JSON representation does not have this requirement so we can use a custom loadBalancingConfig .

Actual SSH over HTTPS
In general, tunneling through HTTP2 turns out to be a great choice. There is a RPC protocol built on top of HTTP2: gRPC[1].
This is because HTTP2 is great at exploiting a TCP connection to transmit and receive multiple data structures concurrently - multiplexing.
There may not be a reason to use HTTP3 however, as QUIC already provides multiplexing.
I expect that in the future most communications will be over encrypted HTTP2 and QUIC simply because middleware creators can not resist to discriminate.
