The following sections explain how this works, development setup, deployment instructions and configuration reference.
It's one Cloudflare Worker: a SvelteKit site, plus a cron, a queue consumer and a Durable Object, over D1. All data comes from the GitHub API.
Details
- Discovery is a search sweep, about weekly. Search only ever returns 1,000 results, so the sweep splits
stars:50..10000000in half (geometrically, as stars follow a power law) until each slice is under 1,000, then splits single star counts by creation date, down to the second if it has to. Each slice is one queue message, ticked off in aslicestable so a retried message can't count twice, and a sweep that goes quiet for an hour gets its missing slices sent round again. A full sweep of the ~850k repos with 50+ stars is around 3,500 messages, so well under 3% of the queue allowance a month. - Counting is batched GraphQL. Node ids are worked out from GitHub's numeric ids, so one
nodes(ids:)query covers a whole batch for a point. GitHub's 10 second timeout bites long before the points do (it manages about 100 repos a second), so batches are packed to about 400 repos and halved if one times out. - Refreshes are tiered: 1,000+ stars daily, 100+ weekly, the rest monthly, plus anyone whose page gets visited when they're over a day old. A cron every ten minutes works through whoever's due for eight minutes.
- A single Durable Object is the token pool. It mints the app's installation token, hands out calls in batches of ten so it's one request per batch rather than per call, and holds back for the primary limit, the per-minute limits (2,000 GraphQL and 900 REST points, 30 searches),
retry-after,x-ratelimit-resetand 100 concurrent leases. Crawls leave 500 points an hour for sign-ins and visitors. - Rows are thin and keyed on GitHub's numeric ids, with no index on stars, since one full scan a snapshot is far cheaper than an index write on every star change. Repo rows are only written when something changed, and an owner gets one write per refresh for its schedule. A count that gets cut short (the pool says wait, or a page errors) isn't saved at all, so nobody's total drops for a month because of a blip.
- Leaderboards and rank histograms are snapshots, rebuilt every six hours (hourly while the first sweep is still filling up). A rank is worked out from the histogram, never stored per row. A day of history is kept with each one.
- Pages are rendered on the Worker and cached per data centre for ten minutes, then served stale while they refresh.
/adminshows this month's usage against each allowance, and/api/budgetanswers 503 once anything passes 70%, which is what the uptime check watches.
The site works best on Cloudflare, so you'll need a Cloudflare account with a Workers Pro plan. You'll also need a GitHub App without any permissions, and with the callback URL set to https://<your domain>/auth/callback, installed on your own account. Then fork the repo, and run:
# 1. Setup
npm install
npx wrangler d1 create git-star-ranking
npx wrangler queues create git-star-ranking-crawl
# 2. Configure
# Pop the db ID into wrangler.jsonc, and set `APP_URL`, `ADMINS` and `routes`
vi wrangler.jsonc
# 3. Deploy
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply DB --remote
npx wrangler secret put GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY
npm run deployOr you can build from source: Grab the source from the latest release (or clone it), then follow the steps above.
Secrets, set with npx wrangler secret put <name> (or in .dev.vars locally):
| Name | What it is |
|---|---|
GITHUB_APP_ID |
Your GitHub App's id |
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET |
The app's OAuth credentials, for sign-in |
GITHUB_INSTALLATION_ID |
The id from installing the app on your account |
GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY |
The app's private key, as GitHub gave it or base64'd onto one line |
SESSION_SECRET |
Any long random string, for signing the session cookie |
SENTRY_DSN |
Optional, sends server errors to Sentry or Bugsink |
Settings, in vars in wrangler.jsonc:
| Name | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
REPO_MIN_STARS |
50 |
The smallest repo the sweep looks for and the tables keep |
REFRESH_TIERS |
1000:1,100:7,0:30 |
Stars to refresh interval in days |
SWEEP_DAYS |
7 |
How often the search sweep goes round again |
OWNER_REPO_PAGES |
10 |
Pages of 100 repos counted per account |
STREAMS |
2 |
GraphQL queries the cron runs side by side |
ADMINS |
Comma-separated logins that can see /admin |
Snapshots go in the R2 bucket bound as SNAPSHOTS, so make one first with npx wrangler r2 bucket create git-star-ranking-snapshots.
If you drop the binding, they'll go into D1 instead.
For optional hit counting and error reporting, you can set the PUBLIC_PLAUSIBLE_SCRIPT and PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN vars, which the client reads at build time. Both are empty unless you set them, so nothing phones home.
You'll need Node 22.18 or newer. It's a SvelteKit app that runs on Wrangler locally, D1, queue and all.
git clone git@github.com:NotAFlightRisk/git-star-ranking.git
cd git-star-ranking
npm install
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply DB --local
npm run devPut the secrets in .dev.vars first, as the crawler talks to the real GitHub API. It's then on localhost:8787, and /__scheduled runs the cron by hand. The other scripts you'll want are npm run check (types), npm test and npm run format.
Kudos to @k0kubun for his original version, which he ran for years, before it was taken offline in November 2026.
