Backed by AltaLab, NVIDIA Inception and 500 Global

Your codebase forgets nothing. Your team shouldn't have to.

Atlan remembers why every decision was made — so new engineers ship in days, not weeks.

Why does the payment service retry three times instead of once?

Atlan

Changed in PR #482 after a production incident in March — one retry wasn't enough for transient timeouts from the bank API.

The problem

Knowledge lives in people. People leave.

New hire

Day one. Full access, zero context.

Joins the company

The wiki was last edited 14 months ago.

Figures it out alone

Trial and error. Interrupting seniors.

2 months later

0 tickets closed independently.

Money lost — every time this repeats

Nobody wrote it down. So the next person starts from zero — again.

How it works

Start with what already exists.

No migration. No new tool for your team to adopt. Atlan reads the history you already have.

Connect

Atlan connects to Git, Slack, and your ticketing system. No new tools to adopt.

Ask

Any engineer asks "why is this built this way?" and gets a sourced answer instantly.

Access

You control what Atlan can see.

Scope every source to the permissions your team already has. Turn anything off at any time.

Git history

Security

Your code never leaves your control.

On-premise & self-hosted
Run Atlan entirely inside your own infrastructure.
Role-based access
Mirrors the permissions your team already has. No new surface.
No training on your code
Ever. Your repositories are never used to train models.

Vision

Code is written faster than ever. Understanding it isn't.

As more code gets generated by AI agents, less of it gets explained by a human. Atlan is the memory layer that keeps context attached to code — no matter who, or what, wrote it.

FAQ

Questions engineering leads ask us.

What does Atlan connect to?

Git, Slack, and your ticketing system to start. More integrations follow the pilot.

How long does setup take?

Hours to a few days, depending on repository size and how much history you want indexed.

Do we need to write anything ourselves?

No. Atlan works from the history your team already produced.

How accurate are the answers?

92%, measured against real engineer questions reviewed by senior developers.

Can this run on our own infrastructure?

Yes — on-premise and self-hosted deployments are available.
