Kronk — Open Source AI Tooling
Open Source AI Tooling
A Go based SDK for local AI inference that explores a simpler approach to building AI systems with fewer moving parts.
AI Engineering for Real Systems
From Strategy to Production
AI is becoming part of the production stack. Building it well requires more than connecting an API.
Ardan Labs applies decades of systems engineering experience to AI strategy, infrastructure, data, inference, tooling, and deployment.
Explore AI EngineeringStrategy & Architecture
Identify valuable use cases and design systems around real technical constraints.
Data & Retrieval
Build reliable data pipelines, retrieval systems, vector search, and RAG architectures.
Models & Inference
Evaluate, integrate, optimize, fine tune, and deploy models where they make sense.
Tooling & LLMOps
Build agentic workflows, internal tools, observability, deployment pipelines, and production infrastructure.
Why Ardan
Built by engineers. Grounded in production.
We bring systems thinking, production experience, technical depth, and knowledge transfer to every engagement.
Systems Thinking
We look beyond individual features to the architecture, dependencies, performance, and operational realities surrounding them.
Production Experience
Our recommendations come from engineers who build, operate, and troubleshoot real systems.
Technical Depth
Go, Rust, Kubernetes, distributed systems, performance, cloud infrastructure, and AI.
Knowledge Transfer
We don't just build alongside your team. We help your engineers understand what we're building and why.
Why Engineers & Teams Trust Ardan Labs
Best training in the Go community
You should reach out to the team over at Ardan Labs. They have been training the Go community since the beginning and I've yet to see anyone do it better.
Kelsey Hightower
Go features that made work better
Feeling so happy with myself: yesterday at work I refactored some code to use Go 1.16 built-in embed. I learned about it at an Ardan Labs service class.
Jessica Greene
Well-structured and useful advice
Excellent class. The instructor is a hacker speaking to hackers, so we got very useful information and advice. Well-structured and paced. 10/10 would gopher it again.

Best ever — learned to build great services
I finished Ultimate Service from Ardan Labs. I'm telling you this was the best ever. Talking from project structures to metrics. Now I can write good services in Go.
Adeniyi Oluwatola
Improved productivity with Go
Thanks Ardan Labs for a great Ultimate Go class! Bill is a great teacher and I'm definitely more productive in Go now.
Steve Francia
Complex topics explained clearly
Highly recommend Ultimate Go by Bill Kennedy and Ardan Labs. I appreciate how Bill explains complex topics simply and clearly. The labs were incredibly helpful too.
Matt Holt
Well documented and well structured
Their quality is astounding. They went above and beyond what we asked, working in line with best practices. Everything had test cases, was well documented and well structured, and ran smoothly.
Cole Calistra
The perfect partner
ArdanLabs was the perfect partner for us because there is no better Go training out there and their engineer augmentation services didn't feel like engaging with contractors. Their engineers are true team players and great mentors for our team.
Tradesy
Great class!
Great class! Our teams benefited from post-class help in code reviews, mentoring, and development of starter kits for typical applications types in our environment.
PayPal
Commitment to quality
The folks at Ardan Labs undertook all the tasks around software delivery (continuous integration, continuous delivery, unit testing, documentation, system integration) with the same commitment to quality that they demonstrated towards their code.
Carnegie Technologies
Absolutely professional delivery
Absolutely professional delivery of content. Engaging, to the point, great exercises, and very well rehearsed. You can tell Miki Tebeka is passionate about what he does.
