Really admire your writing style 🤣
Can you please point me at some quality reading material for developers interested in Hive technology and runtime operations?
I'm looking for stable SDKs / APIs providing access to the data stored on-chain.
I'm also not sure if I should run my own node for data acquisition or is it better to use existing infrastructure?
You can find some of the core information here:

Much many of us have learned with experience.
You can find a lot of people willing to help answer questions on Hive Devs Discord.
