A new developer for a new era
Software development evolves quickly. Teams no longer ship code in long cycles where developers are forced to manually write out every model, schema, and function line by line. Instead, they iterate continuously, taking advantage of tools that can generate and deploy numerous features in real time for their users. However, while development has accelerated significantly, most backend systems remain stuck in the past. Traditional infrastructure still assumes this manual level of development is in place—and as complexity increases, so does operational drag.
Modelence was built to solve this pain point.
There are many great coding agents and AI app builders today. The challenge they often struggle with is how to create production-ready apps due to the limitations of their frameworks and platforms. Modelence is the first backend cloud intentionally designed for AI-assisted development. Its platform provides a concise and stable foundation that helps keep teams nimble, safe, and focused on shipping product, not fighting infrastructure.
MongoDB Atlas sits at the center of this foundation. It serves as the data layer that provides Modelence with the flexibility, structure, and overall reliability needed to move at this rapid-fire pace of software development.
Building with MongoDB enabled us to raise $3M in Modelence’s Seed round and ship faster.
”Agent-native by design
The differentiating factor when it comes to Modelence is that it isn’t just AI-ready, it’s agent-native. Modelence is built around the way intelligent systems actually build software. It offers fast iterations, is opinionated, and has built-in standards and guardrails that consider safety at scale.
Instead of needing many APIs that need to mesh up and interconnect, Modelence provides a small, predictable surface area, covering essentials like authentication, database, APIs, cron jobs, and monitoring.
With Modelence, teams (and agents) are capable of:
building full-stack apps with zero boilerplate and configuration.
utilizing built-in primitives for all standard web application concepts, rather than piecing together multiple libraries and platforms.
deploying safely with native guardrails, validating every change before production.
Because of all of this, developers and agents can build an app on a single platform—and Modelence seamlessly handles how the application runs end to end.
Why agent workflows need a different platform
For AI-assisted workflows, building and maintaining production backends is a uniquely challenging task. Modelence helps close this gap by optimizing how these AI workflows actually operate. Low-ambiguity conventions offer one clear way to create an action, schema, or job, reducing the room for error in a workflow pipeline. Schemas shift quickly, and heavy migrations kill iteration—meaning rapid evolution is not a “nice to have,” but rather something that must occur. Deep observability plays another significant factor in the platform. Every prompt, configuration change, and method call is logged because when code is being automated, traceability is as crucial as the code itself.
The result? A backend platform where automation can move fast without anything in the process breaking. This is where MongoDB Atlas makes this happen at scale.
Standardizing on MongoDB Atlas
MongoDB Atlas naturally complements how Modelence’s platform works, making it an ideal operational partner. MongoDB’s document model aligns perfectly with how developers and intelligent systems think, meaning specifications, plans, and runtime events can coexist within a single, flexible structure. This makes it exceedingly easy for Modelence to track context and state without managing a tangle of relational joins or migrations.
Each customer operates within its own dedicated database, offering clear boundaries that help make rollbacks and restores much safer. This per-tenant isolation proves essential for a platform where automated systems make rapid changes across various environments.
MongoDB’s schema flexibility also plays a central role. Data structures evolve as models and features change, making lengthy migration projects or system downtime inefficient. Atlas’s operational simplicity lets Modelence continuously build and deploy, allowing for managed credentials, automated backups, and elastic scaling.
With MongoDB Atlas as its foundation, Modelence can evolve its own platform as quickly as its customers evolve theirs.
An AI-native developer workflow, end-to-end
It’s not often that companies can transform the concept of agentic development into production-ready workflows, but Modelence nails it. With MongoDB as the core element in Modelence’s stack, the company can ensure the application doesn’t lose its reliability and structure as it evolves.
Modelence now moves from planning to running features in minutes, as agents can generate new actions and schemas, validate them, and apply them directly to isolated MongoDB databases.
With MongoDB’s flexible structure and added type checks in the application layer, Modelence experiences fewer regressions and faster iteration loops. Typed contracts and predictable conventions can minimize ambiguity. The document model absorbs most schema changes without requiring manual migrations.
When teams review changes, trace context and structured diffs make it easier to pinpoint what has been modified, even when the change originates from an AI-assisted workflow. This combination means that Modelence and MongoDB together are capable of building, validating, and deploying at the speed of modern development.
Looking Ahead
Modelence continues to expand its MongoDB-backed platform with new capabilities that will help deepen its agentic ecosystem. The most exciting upcoming launch is Modelence’s own AI app builder. This doesn’t add yet another AI builder tool to the already crowded space, but demonstrates how well agentic builders work when they operate on an opinionated and unified platform specifically designed for them.
With MongoDB Atlas as its foundation, Modelence is building a future where developers and intelligent systems can collaborate seamlessly. In short, it’s a backend infrastructure that simply works.
Modelence is opinionated so coding agents don’t have to guess. Paired with MongoDB, we give AI builders a small, stable set of primitives that make shipping with agents fast, safe, and production-ready.
”MongoDB for Startups
Modelence’s growth was powered by the MongoDB for Startups Program, which supplies founders with Atlas credits, technical support, and access to exclusive go-to-market opportunities. The program helps AI and infrastructure startups, such as Modelence, build, scale, and launch faster with a trusted database foundation built for innovation.
Building with MongoDB allowed us to move much faster than we could otherwise, and we didn’t have to spend time thinking about database scalability. This, combined with the AI-native direction MongoDB is moving in, created extra excitement among investors and helped us close our seed round in record time.
