Postgres — including Supabase, AWS RDS, Neon, and self-hosted. More databases coming soon.
Under 6 seconds, regardless of database size. The initial connector setup takes longer depending on data size, but after that every branch is instant.
No. Ardent uses logical replication to sync your data. Your production database is never written to or modified.
They auto-suspend after 5 minutes of inactivity. When you reconnect, they spin back up instantly.
Yes. Create a branch and pass the connection URL to Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent. They can read, write, and run migrations without touching production.Ardent generates a unique connection string for each branch — your real database credentials are never exposed. If a branch URL is ever compromised, your production data stays safe because the branch connection string has no access to the original database. An LLM will never see or have access to your real credentials.
Branches are created from a continuously synced replica of your production database. Once a branch is created, it’s a snapshot from that point — changes you make on the branch are isolated.
As many as you need. Branches are lightweight copy-on-write forks — they only use additional storage for data you change.
Yes — just like git. Everyone on your team can see, switch to, and collaborate on branches. Use ardent invite to add people to your org.
Everything. Branches are full Postgres databases — extensions, triggers, RLS, functions, all of it.
Yes. You’d need to set up logical replication (WAL configuration, replication slots, schema drift, failure recovery — database replication is a nightmare), build a branching engine, build a connection proxy that routes to the right branch, handle auto-suspend and resume, manage credential isolation, and build a CLI on top of all of it. We’ve spent thousands of engineering hours building and maintaining this infrastructure. Ardent gives you all of it in one npm install.
Yes — see our Security page for full details.
