Moderne
Miami, Florida
What it is
Moderne provides infrastructure for developers and AI coding agents working across large software systems. Its hybrid SaaS runs deterministic recipes across thousands of repositories in a single-tenant cloud provider and region of the customer’s choice. Teams can group repositories by business unit and reporting structure with one CSV file, then roll results up to leaders. DevCenter tracks upgrade, migration, and security-vulnerability status for defined repository organizations, including timelines and remaining occurrences. Its marketplace offers thousands of type-aware recipes for languages and technologies including Java, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, C#, Go, mainframe, and infrastructure as code. Changesets let users review diffs, visualize results, download data tables, and mass commit or open pull requests across repositories. Changelog connects to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and internal version-control systems, including systems in separate network segments. Coding agents can query change context through MCP and the GraphQL API. Moderne DX runs inside a customer network without outbound connectivity. A community version offers open-source repositories, a recipe catalog, and cross-repository search. Pricing is paid, from $2,000/mo, and a free plan is available.
