I would state it directly, that the product is open source and is being widely used currently. Because Github (with all due respect) and Github stats are not self-explanatory thing for many of your web-site visitors.

If it is possible I would collect reviews and post these reviews (from developers, devops and non technical managers) on the pages, dedicated for the relevant roles to make the product more appealing for the target audience.

It is a part of the header in the second section, below the fold. But if you didn't see that before I told you, there is something wrong with our communication ... :/

BTW, check the screenshot. Is this a better "primary message". Another commenter here said this was the best sentence that explained things the best ...

Notice the new text saying "Wrap your database in a CRUD API in seconds" - I suspect it's a better primary message ...
