Don't forget GitHub, Microsoft and et al, co-wrote and contribute to libgit2[1], a portable pure-C Git core implementation that's aim for cross platform compatibility. As the author noted himself, GitHub keeps, source code, user pages/wikis and gists in Git. Other objects like issues, repo relationships, accounts, project details in their own database[2]. To me, that's a fairly standard way of storing data if I were to develop a GitHub system. Even rate limits for APIs are common way of protecting them from API abuse.
