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

Cloudbeds carries 49 GitHub stars across 29 public repos, with 9 repositories active in the last 90 days and 3 external contributors on record. edX shows 392 stars across 250 public repos, 51 active in the last 90 days and 23 external contributors.
