Adoption Metrics

This document tracks adoption metrics for KubeStellar Console to provide quantitative evidence of project traction and community growth, supporting CNCF incubation due diligence.

Overview

CNCF incubation requires demonstrable evidence of adoption, production usage, and community health. This document defines the metrics framework, collection methodology, and current data for KubeStellar Console. Metrics are organized into six categories: web analytics, installation, active usage, community engagement, marketplace activity, and ecosystem integration.

Note: Placeholder values are marked with _TBD_. Replace with actual data when available. Snapshot date should be recorded with each update.

Last updated: TBD

Methodology

Data Collection

Category Source Collection Method
Web analytics GA4 Automatic (console.kubestellar.io)
Installation Registry APIs Docker Hub API, GHCR API, Helm OCI registry
Active usage Application telemetry Aggregate, anonymous counters (opt-in)
Community GitHub API Public repository metrics
Marketplace Internal catalog Preset/mission registry counts

Privacy Considerations

  • No PII is collected. All usage telemetry is anonymous and aggregate.
  • Web analytics use GA4 with IP anonymization enabled.
  • Self-hosted deployments do not phone home — usage metrics from self-hosted instances are not collected unless the operator explicitly opts in.
  • Community metrics are derived from public GitHub data only.
  • All data collection complies with the KubeStellar Privacy Policy and CNCF guidelines.

Update Cadence

This document should be updated:

  • Monthly for web analytics and installation metrics
  • Quarterly for community engagement and marketplace activity
  • Before each CNCF review milestone with a comprehensive snapshot

Automation

Where possible, metrics should be collected via automated scripts:

  • GitHub metrics: GitHub REST/GraphQL API
  • Container pulls: Docker Hub API (/v2/repositories/{namespace}/{name}/)
  • GA4: Google Analytics Data API (v1)
