Observations

The “CATS” project from the Java category looks very interesting to try especially if you are involved in API development or testing.
The “sniffnet” project from the Rust category has shown extreme growth in November.
I personally found the “Hurl” project from the Rust category worth trying. It seems a very easy way to script HTTP communications and create test scenarios. It is like cURL but with assertions.
The “Ruff” project from the Rust category is a great example of when one programming language can help another. In this case, fast Rust code helps avoid mistakes in Python code.

Observations

If you are looking for a microservices orchestration framework you should take a look at the “Conductor” project from the Java category.
There are only two projects in the Java category that demonstrated grow more than 10% in October. All others have 8% growth or less.
If you are working with JavaScript or TypeScript and interested in Rust at the same time, the “Turbo” project from the Rust category might be interesting for you.
As usual blockchain and smart-contract projects are one of the leaders in the Rust category.
