A s 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on milestones and progress. Today, I’m thrilled to share an extraordinary achievement that defines our year.

Since its launch in March, Daytona has become the world's number one open-source Cloud Development Environment (CDE). In just nine months, Daytona has gone from an ambitious idea to a product developers worldwide trust and rely on.

When evaluating open-source projects, it's tempting to focus solely on GitHub stars—they're visible, easy to track, and often cited as a measure of success.

However, true leadership in the open-source demands more than just popularity metrics. It requires building a sustainable ecosystem that thrives on community engagement, active development, and real-world impact.

GitHub stars - Stars are often the first thing developers notice. They signal interest—like bookmarking a project with a “this looks cool, I’ll check it out later” sentiment. While valuable, stars alone are too simplistic to serve as the sole metric of true success.
