Ardent
Database branching tool built for coding agents and collaborative development.
Ardent creates isolated copies of Postgres databases in under six seconds, so coding agents can test, clean, and migrate data without affecting production. Each clone is isolated at the compute and storage level, loads in about six seconds, scales to zero, and autoscales compute without duplicating storage.
The platform supports data cleaning, migration testing, backfills, and change verification on exact copies of production. It connects to Supabase, AWS RDS, and PlanetScale, with support for auth, extensions, and provider-specific configurations. Enterprise plans add custom BYOCC, VPC deployment, team-level access controls, and custom SLAs.
Ardent is aimed at developers, teams, and platforms running coding agents against production data. It is packaged as a free Starter plan with a one-time credit and limited projects, a monthly Scale plan with included credits and unlimited projects, and a custom Enterprise edition. Usage is billed on top of the base plan by compute (per CU-hour) and storage (per GB-month).
