Akeneo and edX (Online learning at https://edx.org, powered by the Open edX platform https://openedx.org) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Akeneo and edX sit at essentially the same overall ecosystem score (43), which is unusual and worth reading through the pillars below.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Akeneo is slightly ahead of edX. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Akeneo is slightly ahead of edX. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Akeneo is ahead of edX. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), edX is clearly ahead of Akeneo. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), edX is slightly ahead of Akeneo.

Akeneo carries 2,126 GitHub stars across 51 public repos, with 7 repositories active in the last 90 days and 15 external contributors on record. edX shows 392 stars across 250 public repos, 52 active in the last 90 days and 22 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Akeneo's footprint is roughly 5.4x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Akeneo is the stronger read for anyone weighting community. edX looks better where reach is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
