About
A small team with a specific obsession
MongoDB has no equivalent of Neon, PlanetScale, or Dolt — no way to branch, rewind, or audit your data the way you manage code. Argon exists to fill that gap, correctly.
Team
Jake Wang
Founder
Software engineer, previously at MongoDB, LinkedIn, and Bloomberg. Building Argon to give MongoDB the Git-style branching, merge, and time travel it never had — and to make databases something AI agents can work in without fear.
