TB scale cloning in <6s Any postgres DB On demand
Y Combinator
@ycombinatorMay 8
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! ycombinator.com/launches/QE3…

We're hiring a founding infra engineer @ArdentAI -You'll own scaling to millions of concurrent sandboxes -In person SF -150-200K, 1-3% equity -Bonus if you're incredible at kubernetes, rust and go Comment/DM me the most impressive thing you've scaled

When we started YC we did about 40 sandboxes per week Now we're doing thousands Soon 10s of thousands When it works it REALLY works

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. Full post on why I joined Ardent: ashita.ai/blog/why-i-joined-…

Why I Joined Ardent

On Friday, April 24, 2026, an AI coding agent deleted PocketOS’s production database in nine seconds. Cursor, running Claude Opus 4.6, was working on a staging task. It hit a credential mismatch,...

Introducing @ArdentAI It lets you create infinite clones of any postgres DB in <6s So coding agents and devs can test their work 1 CLI command. Zero infra management Watch me clone a 1.6TB DB in <6s:
