180 observed daily rows. Missing days are not fabricated.

Hotness formula

40% Hot today + 40% Hot this week + 20% Breakout.

  • 40% Hot today: 1
  • 40% Hot this week: 14
  • 20% Breakout: 3
  • Stars gained: 1d: 0
  • Stars gained: 7d: 3
  • Stars gained: 14d: 6
  • Stars gained: 30d: 11
  • Stars gained: 90d: 3260

Per-day formula: 0.40 × Hot today + 0.40 × Hot week + 0.20 × Breakout.

  • Same-day multiplier = stars 1d ÷ max(1, stars 7d ÷ 7)
  • Weekly multiplier = stars 7d ÷ max(1, stars 30d ÷ 30 × 7)
  • Fortnight multiplier = stars 14d ÷ max(1, stars 90d ÷ 90 × 14)
  • Hot today = clamp(70 × log-scale(stars 1d, 1000) + 30 × breakout-scale(same-day, 4))
  • Hot week = clamp(75 × log-scale(stars 7d, 5000) + 25 × breakout-scale(weekly, 3))
  • Breakout = clamp(35 × breakout-scale(same-day, 4) + 40 × breakout-scale(weekly, 3) + 25 × breakout-scale(fortnight, 2.5))

Weekly average

Full metrics details

Derived from the displayed continuity, closure, shipping, liveness, and support-burden components.

180 observed daily rows. Missing days are not fabricated.

Reliability formula

30% Continuity + 30% Closure + 20% Shipping + 10% Liveness + 10% Support burden.

  • 30% Continuity: 18
  • 30% Closure: 45
  • 20% Shipping: 4
  • 10% Liveness: 100
  • 10% Support burden: 40

Per-day formula: 0.30 × Continuity + 0.30 × Closure + 0.20 × Shipping + 0.10 × Liveness + 0.10 × Support burden.

  • Continuity = 35% active ratio 90d + 20% active ratio 30d + 15% PR efficiency 90d + 10% PR efficiency 30d + 10% liveness + 10% observed-history coverage
  • Closure = 55% PR merge efficiency 90d + 45% issue close efficiency 90d
  • Shipping = 100 × (20% × release ratio 30d + 30% × release ratio 90d + 50% × release ratio 180d); ratios are releases ÷ 2, 6, and 12, capped at 1
  • Support burden = 100 − 2 × open issues per 1,000 stars
  • Liveness = 100 × exp(−pushed days ago ÷ 120)

Stars, issues, pull requests, and releases are daily observations. Pushed-days and license are repository snapshot-derived inputs and are not independent historical GitHub events.

Reliability breakdown

What drives the reliability score

Component scores measured daily from GitHub activity (2026-07-18).

Continuity30% of headline18

Activity on 0 of 90 tracked days in the last 90 and 0 of 30 in the last 30.

Activity pulse
Closure30% of headline45

Merged 0 of 0 PRs opened and closed 0 of 0 issues opened over the last 90 tracked days — PR flow carries 55% of this component, issue flow 45%.

PRs merged (90d)PRs opened (90d)Issues closed (90d)Issues opened (90d)
Shipping20% of headline4

1 releases in the last 180 days, 0 in the last 90 and 0 in the last 30 — a steady cadence scores highest.

Daily ratio — a gap means nothing was opened that day

How this works: each day's value is issues closed that day ÷ issues opened that day. Days when nothing was opened render as gaps — never a rolling average or a made-up zero. Values above 1 mean the project closed more issues than arrived that day.

About Visualvm

Oracle/VisualVM is an open-source Java diagnostics project designed to simplify performance troubleshooting across the JVM stack. The tool brings together core capabilities such as real-time process monitoring, CPU and memory profiling, thread state inspection, garbage collection visibility, and heap dump analysis. Instead of relying on separate utilities for each task, engineers can use VisualVM as a unified workspace to inspect behavior over time, compare runtime snapshots, and investigate regressions.

For backend services, this is especially useful when latency spikes or memory growth appear under load. VisualVM helps teams correlate metrics with actual code activity by showing method-level hotspots and allocation patterns. In incident response and optimization cycles, that shortens the path from symptom to root cause. With 2,654 GitHub stars in the provided metadata, oracle/visualvm remains a relevant choice for Java developers who need practical observability and troubleshooting in one place.
