Adoption

2 low confidence
2.0

2,321 GitHub stars, which lands in the 1K-10K stars band of the stars scale, level 2. The `vearch` package on PyPI draws about 140 downloads a month and is a client for a running cluster, so banding on it would measure neither the product nor its reach. The stars scale applies; at 2,321 stars the band is 2.
