On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Glide is slightly ahead of VTEX. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Glide is ahead of VTEX. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), VTEX is clearly ahead of Glide.

Glide carries 21,382 GitHub stars across 67 public repos, with 11 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. VTEX shows 1,617 stars across 266 public repos, 47 active in the last 90 days and 51 external contributors.
