Build
World-class work, on a stack any builder can pick up.
Excellence is worship. We build real things customers can rely on, and we build them so any team's code is movable to any other team and maintainable for customers.
The GLORi stack
The minimum for anything on GLORi infrastructure or carrying the GLORi brand.
- Next.js + TypeScript
- Postgres on Neon with Drizzle
- Fly for hosting
- GitHub
- Every outside service behind its own interface
- Tests and CI must pass
The stack applies to work that uses the GLORi platform or brand. It is never a condition of belonging to a crew.
Project paths
Three paths for any project.
Advocacy list
- Who it serves
- Needs that churches and ministries submit, curated by GLORi
- Who owns it
- The ministry, or the Foundation as a shared tool
- Money
- A volunteer gift. Hosting is funded by the Foundation.
Venture
- Who it serves
- Teams with traction, or ideas GLORi wants to bring to market
- Who owns it
- The team, with Glori Incorporated taking a stake, a license, or acquiring
- Money
- Paid or equity, on standard published terms.
Builders own their work. Personal projects stay theirs, and GLORi has access only for mentoring. When GLORi invests in, partners with or buys a builder's work, it pays fair value on standard terms published in advance, so every builder gets the same deal.
The brand ladder
Open to join, reviewed to carry the seal.
Anyone can join. Only reviewed work carries the GLORi seal.
