TB scale cloning in <6s

Any postgres DB

On demand

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Ardent (@ArdentAI) let's you clone any Postgres DB <6s at TB scale so coding agents can test their code and engineering teams can ship fast without fear of taking down production.

It's already being used by dozens of teams like Supermemory and Surface Labs with 10TB+ of data across customers.

Congrats on the launch, @vchennai2!

I'm 5k richer :)

&gt;They want to roll Ardent out across their entire company
&gt;They wanna invest

Life is good

We rewrote how infrastructure works for the world of agents

Recently, I joined @vchennai2 as the CTO of @ArdentAI

Agents are writing data engineering code in production today, and the testing substrate underneath them was designed for human pace. Ardent rebuilds it with six-second copy-on-write Postgres clones so agents have somewhere safe to work.

Postgres for the world of agents

[Vikram @vchennai2]

Introducing @ArdentAI

It lets you create infinite clones of any postgres DB in &lt;6s

So coding agents and devs can test their work

1 CLI command. Zero infra management

Watch me clone a 1.6TB DB in &lt;6s:

Early @stripe energy

[Vikram @vchennai2]

I'm going around SF collison installing anyone who wants in

First up @DhravyaShah from @supermemory

One of our first believers even when the product was barely functional

DM and I will personally come to your office and get you and your team set up :)

[Ardent @ArdentAI]

Guess we're a @ycombinator company now :)

[Vikram @vchennai2]

I got into @ycombinator solo

After 7 rejections

Before the batch:
-$2.1M raised alone
-Sold 200K ARR
-6M+ views

I'm building the first database sandbox @ArdentAI

We let you infinitely clone any Postgres DB in &lt;6s so coding agents can test code on a 1:1 of prod

Time to win

[Ardent @ArdentAI]

They're trying to recruit my founder

Help

[Vikram @vchennai2]

World class recruiter lowball

[Ardent @ArdentAI]

@FlyaKiet @vchennai2 True measure of success 😎

[Ardent @ArdentAI]

Should we do this?

[will harris @boujeehacker]

@vchennai2 @JustJake @ArdentAI Ngl "Making it impossible for Claude to destroy your db" is a cold ass pitch!

[Vikram @vchennai2]

We raised 2.1M led by @crane_vc to build @ardentai the first AI Data Engineer

Today, companies bleed engineering hours to data pipeline maintenance hell

Ardent autonomously builds pipelines, optimizes queries and models data so companies never feel that pain again

@jesslionness This is the AGI we were promised

[Ardent @ArdentAI]

Today we're announcing our latest Agent

The Soham V1

It can do everything you can for about a month

Then it seems to crash a lot. Idk
