# Backend & databases: what’s taking off on GitHub

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.

Data as of 2026-10-30 11:02 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
