Partner programme

Put AetheriusDB in front of a real workload.

We're looking for a small number of partners — either running the database on their own workload, or deploying it for their clients. There are two ways in, and they're deliberately different.

Design Partner

For teams who want to run AetheriusDB on a real workload early and shape what it becomes.

  • No licence cost during the programme, and founding-customer pricing locked in afterwards.
  • A direct channel to the engineers building the database — not a ticket queue.
  • A defined support SLA with response targets on production-impacting issues.
  • Roadmap influence — your use case sets priorities.
  • A written data-export guarantee, so you are never trapped by the format.

What we ask: run it on a real workload, tell us honestly what breaks, and let us reference you once it works.

Technology & Reseller Partner

For consultancies, integrators and platform vendors who deploy AetheriusDB for their own clients.

  • Partner pricing on every client instance, with margin that reflects the work you do.
  • You keep 100% of your implementation revenue — we don't compete with your services.
  • Engineering support on client deployments, including pre-sales help.
  • Certification and enablement for your team, plus free internal and demo licences.
  • Referrals — qualified leads in your region or vertical.

What we ask: a trained team and a fair, honest representation of what the product does today.

Being straight with you: AetheriusDB is young. Some capabilities are production-ready today, others are opt-in or still on the roadmap — every feature in our documentation carries an explicit availability label, and we will walk you through exactly what is safe to rely on before you commit. Commercial terms are agreed on the call, not guessed from a web page.

Tell us what you'd build

A person reads every application. The more concrete your workload, the faster we can tell you whether AetheriusDB is a fit today.

Programme application

Fields marked * are required.

A domain is enough — we'll add https:// for you.

A couple of sentences is plenty — enough for us to judge fit.

Frequently asked

Before you apply

How many partners are you taking?

Few, on purpose. Both programmes involve real engineering time from our side, so we'd rather do a handful properly than sign everyone.

What does it cost?

Design Partners pay no licence fee during the programme. Reseller partners get partner pricing on every client instance. We agree the specifics on a call — they depend on scale, support level and term, and we'd rather quote you honestly than publish a number that fits nobody.

Is AetheriusDB production-ready?

Parts of it are, and we'll tell you exactly which. Every feature in the docs carries an availability label — on by default, opt-in, beta, or roadmap — and we will go through the ones that matter to your workload before you commit to anything. If your use case depends on something that isn't ready, we'll say so. /reference/configuration →

What happens to my data if this doesn't work out?

You get a written export guarantee. Data goes in and comes out in formats you can read without us, and we'll help you migrate off if it comes to that. A database you can't leave isn't a database you should adopt.

We're a startup, not a company with a procurement process.

That's fine — most of our early partners are. Start with the quickstart, point an existing client at the PostgreSQL wire protocol, and tell us what breaks. /get-started/quickstart →
