I've ported a couple of repos to CodeFloe in the last few days, and so far, so good. Performance is similar to when I self-host Forgejo on a dedicated VPS where I'm the only user, which is super fast. And their built-in CI is pretty nice.

It's a huge contrast to Codeberg, which struggles with basic navigation of the web UI and every git push or pull takes 2-10s.

"In no event shall CodeFloe or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption)"

So many fly-by-night "github replacements" popping up. Step 1, buy a hetzner dedi server from the auction for $100/mo. Step 2, install Forgejo. Step 3, ride the wave of anti-US, anti-big-corp senitment to get users onto your platform. Step 4, an HDD fails in your i9-13900k and you lose half of your users' data.

If you are going to offer hosting, you need to state what kind of guarantees around data protection you offer.

I think you're holding CodeFloe to an unreasonably high standard here. What SaaS vendors agree to financial guarantees if they lose user data or have an outage?

Here's GitHub's policy:

> We will not be liable for damages or losses arising from your use or inability to use the service or otherwise arising under this agreement.

https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

Here's Atlassian's policy for BitBucket:

> 14. Limitations of Liability

> 14.1. Damages Waiver. Except for Excluded Claims or Special Claims, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, neither party will have any liability arising out of or related to this Agreement for any loss of use, lost data, lost profits, interruption of business or any indirect, special, incidental, reliance or consequential damages of any kind, even if informed of their possibility in advance.

That is fair. This was just the only thing in their terms that I could find that made any mention in regards to data protection. If you are running a service like this, some kind of SLA should exist. I am less concerned with financial protections and more concerned with data protection.
