The maintainer partner program

From repository to payroll

Route your users to Portwright, get the tooling to support them, and take a cut of every deploy.

Ship it as a template

Turn your repository into a one-click deploy template. Your users run the project on Portwright and get a live URL in under a minute.

Answer your users in one place

A dedicated forum on your template surfaces the questions people hit while running your project, so you unblock them and hear what is missing.

  • Questions route to the Helm
  • Feedback straight from operators
Support playbook

How commission works

For platform vendors

Your ecosystem, accounted for

Earn commission on every template built with your stack, including the ones you never wrote.

Revenue from every dependent

Someone builds a template on your framework or database? You earn commission on it. You never have to author the template yourself.

A partner page of your own

Your own page on Portwright, showcasing every template built on your technology and indexed for the searches your users already make.

Everything in the maintainer program, plus more

Platform vendors receive the full set of maintainer program benefits.

  • Commission
  • Community feedback
  • Version updates
  • Private image templates
  • Co-marketing
