It’s relatively easy to self host your own git repositories.
It’s just that Github adds a lot of extra value added features that help streamline things for larger projects, and this is why many people use it. For most people, the value they get far outweighs the inconvenience when it goes down for 10 minutes here or there.
Using git (or equivalent) is pretty important. Using github is pretty optional.
I think you’re reading that chart wrong.
Curcial and WD havea much higher rate on average across all their models.
The 800% is only because they had a single drive for a certain model, and it failed within 2 months. They have a lot of other Seagate models that are much older on average without any failures.
Seems like a shining recommendation to me.
I would recommend Shopifys APIs. Theres a lot to them, they’re well documented, and you can build a developers store for free.
Adobe commerce is another one. You can get a dockerized store up and running pretty quickly, also free and their documentation includes some basic suggested workflows.
Edit: these are mostly for practicing consuming apis, not sure if thats what you were looking for.
