DevRel support programs.

For DevRel, marketing, and developer tools teams

Turn developer attention into product adoption.

Rawkode Academy helps cloud native and developer tools teams create hands-on tutorials, livestreams, workshops, and technical feedback loops that make products easier to understand, trust, and adopt.

We assist internal DevRel teams with external credibility, production capacity, and audience access.

Partner proof

Proof that lives beyond launch week.

The work is designed to become reusable education, product signal, and market context, not a single sponsored impression.

Fermyon / Developer education

Hands-on challenges moved developers from awareness to use.

Rawkode Academy introduced developers to server-side WebAssembly, promoted Spin and Fermyon Cloud, and created Advent of Spin challenges that gave developers a practical way to try the technology.

We saw notable results in developers joining our community and using our services.

Guidepad / Product positioning

Strategy, demo videos, and market guidance for an early-stage platform.

Guidepad used the partnership for cloud native positioning, product strategy, and demo assets while the company was still sharpening its market story.

The guidance and insights consistently elevate our product and strategy.

First 90 days

Start with focus, then publish and learn.

01 / Days 1-14

Fit and focus

Confirm the developer audience, product moments, internal owners, technical access, and success measures.

02 / Days 15-45

Technical proof

Shape the demo path, plan the first tutorial or live build, and capture product or documentation feedback.

03 / Days 46-90

Distribution and signal

Publish, package reusable assets, report what developers responded to, and choose the next quarter's focus.

Measurement

Make success visible to every team involved.

Reporting connects awareness, education, reusable assets, and product feedback so DevRel, marketing, sales, and product can all use the work.

Content performance

Views, watch time, retention, engagement, and the topics developers keep returning to.

Qualified traffic

Referral traffic, UTM-tagged links, campaign landing pages, and partner-owned conversion points where available.

Developer signal

Questions, objections, docs gaps, product friction, and feedback that can help DevRel, product, and engineering teams.

Reusable assets

Clips, tutorials, demos, recaps, workshop material, and internal enablement notes your team can keep using.

Why this format

More useful than one-off visibility.

Sponsorship can create a moment. Technical education creates proof, reuse, and feedback your team can keep compounding.

Conference sponsorship

Useful for presence, but the value fades quickly. A partnership creates technical assets and feedback loops that keep working after launch week.

Podcast or newsletter buys

Good reach, limited proof. Rawkode Academy turns attention into demos, tutorials, workshops, and product questions your team can use.

Paid ads

Fast distribution, low trust. Technical education gives developers a reason to inspect, try, and discuss the product.

Internal DevRel

We do not replace your team. We extend it with external practitioner credibility, production capacity, and market feedback.

Fit

Designed for teams that want technical trust.

Good fit

  • Cloud native, infrastructure, platform, security, or developer tooling product
  • DevRel, marketing, product, or engineering owner who can collaborate
  • Access to technical review, demos, docs, or roadmap context
  • Interest in annual education, not a one-off paid mention

Not a fit

  • Scripted praise with no technical inspection
  • Guaranteed pipeline attribution from one asset
  • No access to product, docs, or a technical reviewer
  • Campaigns that only need broad consumer awareness

Partner history

FAQ

Partnership questions.

What is the minimum partnership duration?

Partnerships are structured as annual engagements because developer trust compounds through repeated technical proof, not one campaign burst. We still plan the work in quarterly cycles so each quarter has clear deliverables and reporting.

What are the payment terms for partnerships?

Nip and Dram are typically paid annually upfront. Blend and Malt can be paid annually, semi-annually, or quarterly depending on procurement needs. We confirm the commercial structure during the fit call.

Do you replace our internal DevRel team?

No. We assist and extend internal DevRel, marketing, product, and engineering teams. Partners use Rawkode Academy for external practitioner credibility, content production capacity, technical feedback, and distribution into a relevant developer audience.

How do you measure partnership success?

We align on success measures before work starts. Reporting can include views, watch time, retention, referral traffic with UTM links, developer questions, docs friction, product feedback, content reuse, and partner-defined adoption indicators.

Can our team reuse the content?

Yes. Partnership planning includes the assets your sales, marketing, DevRel, and product teams can reuse, such as clips, tutorials, demo paths, workshop material, launch recaps, and technical feedback summaries.

How do you qualify potential partners?

We look for developer tools and cloud native companies with useful technology, technical access for review, and a willingness to teach through real usage. We are not a fit for scripted praise, paid mentions with no technical review, or guaranteed pipeline claims from a single asset.
