How we work with sponsors

  • Editorial independence: sponsors never influence what a runbook or lesson says.
  • Problem-first: we pitch the problem your company solves for PostgreSQL engineers.
  • Always labelled "Sponsored", no tracking scripts, hidden for Pro members.
  • Fit: PostgreSQL and database tooling, services, jobs. No adult, gambling or crypto.
  • We approve each sponsor and may decline any.

How it works

  1. Pay for the package you want, securely through Stripe.
  2. Once you have bought, our team reaches out to work on your content plan with you.
  3. Every piece of content is approved by you before it is posted, so we agree dates and timing together. This can take a little time.
