spartan enters a new era with Zerops

A Game-Changing Partnership

I’m beyond excited to share that spartan has partnered with Zerops, a developer-first cloud platform deeply rooted in Angular and committed to strengthening its ecosystem. This collaboration is a huge opportunity for spartan, giving us the momentum and sustainability we need to take the project to the next level.

Community Growth and the Need for Sustainability

Over the last few months, development has been slower than I’d hoped—balancing life and other commitments can do that—but the growth of the spartan community has been nothing short of incredible. We’re now approaching 1,500 GitHub stars and seeing 2,400+ weekly downloads, a clear signal that developers see the value in what we’re building.

This partnership with Zerops enables us to meet that demand head-on. For the first time, we’re able to compensate our team of core developers, ensuring they can dedicate more time to creating, refining, and expanding the spartan/ui components. These are people who care deeply about what we’re building, and now, they’ll have the resources to deliver their best work sustainably.

Why Zerops?

If you’re familiar with Zerops, you know they’re no strangers to Angular. Their support of projects like AnalogJs demonstrates their commitment to the ecosystem, and their alignment with spartan’s values—modern, accessible, flexible tools to build Angular apps—makes them the perfect partner for this journey.

What’s Next: A Production-Ready Starter Template

One of the first outcomes of this partnership will be a starter template that integrates spartan with the Medusa e-commerce platform. This isn’t just a proof of concept—it’s a production-ready starting point for building e-commerce applications, combining spartan/ui components, Analog's full-stack capabilities, Medusa’s powerful platform, and Zerops’ seamless deployment tools.

Celebrating the spartan Community

Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible spartan community. From day one, The 300—our contributors—have been at the heart of everything we do. Your contributions, feedback, and ideas have shaped spartan into what it is today. This partnership with Zerops isn’t just about expanding the project—it’s about honoring the work and support that’s come before.

The Road Ahead

Looking ahead, the future of spartan is bright. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or just discovering the project, now is the perfect time to get involved. Check out the GitHub, explore the roadmap, or contribute and become part of The 300. Together, we’re continuing to build towards an even more sustainable, accessible future for Angular development.
