Welcome to Guardians Program
Guardians are the sponsors who make GuardianDB possible. On this page, we celebrate those who support the project,
strengthen its continuity, and help build a resilient, open, and reliable ecosystem.
Here, every contribution will be acknowledged and valued.
If you want to become a Guardian and contribute to GuardianDB’s stability and growth, explore our tiers and join the community that protects and drives this system forward.
Additionally, each tier comes with an exclusive digital badge that can be displayed on GitHub, portfolios, or social media.
These badges serve as symbols of participation and prestige within the Guardians Program, allowing each supporter to showcase their
involvement and commitment to GuardianDB in a visible and recognizable way.
Wall of Guardians
The Wall of Guardians is the space where GuardianDB sponsors are publicly recognized.
Each name, avatar or logo, and short recognition note represents a contribution to the project’s continuity, evolution, and stability.
It is a way to celebrate the community that keeps the ecosystem alive and resilient.
William Maslonek
“GuardianDB is basically the solution I wish I had found when I needed it.”
Sponsorship Tiers
Each GuardianDB sponsorship tier represents a type of old gladiator. These gladiators symbolize different forms of participation and commitment to the project, from light, continuous support to strategic, long-term protection. By choosing a tier, you become part of this narrative, contributing to the resilience, stability, and growth of GuardianDB, while your role is recognized and celebrated as a true Guardian.
Code Guardians
Code Guardians are the contributors who strengthen GuardianDB directly through their code contributions.
Every commit, review, or improvement represents an effort to make the system more robust, reliable, and efficient.
In this section, we publicly recognize those who help build, maintain, and evolve GuardianDB,
celebrating their technical commitment and dedication to the community.
Code Guardians can be recognized in three different ways, depending on the level and type of contribution:
Official recognition on the website
Contributors who actively and consistently participate may, if they wish, be featured on the website
with their photo, name, and latest activity, publicly highlighting their role in the project.
Automatic recognition via GitHub
Any officially recorded contribution in the repository will automatically list the contributor as a Contributor on GitHub.
Repository recognition (README)
Meaningful contributions, such as significant code changes, major refactors, bug discovery and fixes,
or important structural improvements, are recognized directly in the project’s README.
Timeline
The Guardian Timeline showcases the evolution of GuardianDB through the contributions of its community.
Each commit, sponsorship, or improvement marks a milestone in the project’s development,
celebrating the collective effort that keeps the system resilient and continuously evolving.
