Amplitude vs edX

Amplitude 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.

Amplitude (rank #93) holds a modest lead over edX (rank #338) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (56 vs 43). The gap of 13 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

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

Amplitude carries 3,167 GitHub stars across 151 public repos, with 39 repositories active in the last 90 days and 23 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 Amplitude's footprint is roughly 8.1x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Amplitude is the stronger read for anyone weighting momentum. 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.
