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.

OpenTelemetry in 2023
Yes, I really agree, and I've gone through the same pain, but try using the alternatives that claim to be better because they have OpenAPI specifications [1]
The example shows you how to use the swagger tool, parse the OpenAPI spec [2], auto-generate GoLang glue code, call __one__ of those auto-generated functions and log a trace.
However, there is zero documentation, zero other examples, and I'm left scratching my head whether there's even one person in the world using this approach. I eventually ended up just directly using the service APIs [3] via REST calls.
OTEL is painful, but the alternatives are no better :( I really wish there's some interest in this space, since SLO's and SLI measurements are becoming increasingly important.

OpenTelemetry in 2023
Grafana Tempo also switched from Protobuf storage format to Apache Parquet last year. It's fully open source, and the proposal is here: https://github.com/grafana/tempo/blob/main/docs/design-propo...
disclosure: I work for Grafana!

Monitoring and Testing Cloud Native APIs with Grafana
By combining Grafana Tempo with Tracetest, you can create a robust solution for monitoring and testing APIs with distributed tracing.

Introducing Tempo: low latency, cross-platform, end-to-end typesafe APIs
Last point: There's already a major open source project in the backend space called Tempo. You may want to reconsider the name.

Waffles, Fries, Beer and Developers; Notes from FOSDEM 2023
I started the day with some Rust and spent the rest of the day in the Monitoring and Observability DevRoom. Most of the talks I attended were about OpenTelemetry and were very Grafana Labs-heavy. I knew Grafana and, to a less extent, Loki, and I had never seen Tempo (distributed tracing) and Phlare (profiling), and Mimir (backend for metrics, more backend-y than Prometheus?).
