About Ardent
Summary
Ardent builds database cloning infrastructure for coding agents working against Postgres. It creates a full, isolated copy of any production Postgres database in under six seconds, regardless of size, so agents can run and verify code against real data before it touches production. The product replaces slow, storage-heavy traditional replicas and the manual database management that comes with them.
Business model
Pay only for storage changes made per clone, with a custom plan option for tailored workflows and limits.
Go-to-market
Targets engineering and data teams at B2B companies running AI coding agents on production Postgres; customers start via self-serve sign-up or a booked demo.
