FAQPage Schema

How do I deploy Python code to a serverless compute platform?▼

Deploy Python code to serverless compute by installing the Modal CLI, defining an App with decorated functions like @app.function, and using the modal deploy workflow to run it remotely.

Can I run AI inference and training workloads with GPU support?▼

Run AI inference and training workloads with GPU support by configuring GPU resources within your Modal App definitions, enabling automatic scaling and per-second billing for on-demand execution.

What is the best way to create HTTP endpoints and web APIs in Python?▼

Create HTTP endpoints and web APIs in Python by using the @modal.fastapi_endpoint decorator on your App functions, allowing you to build and serve web endpoints directly from your serverless compute code.

How do I set up sandbox environments for remote code execution?▼

Set up sandbox environments for remote code execution by configuring sandbox settings within your Modal App, utilizing custom images, volumes, and secrets to isolate and manage dependencies securely.

Does Modal support scheduled batch jobs and background workers?▼

Modal supports scheduled batch jobs and background workers by applying Python decorators and schedule configurations to your functions, enabling automated task execution alongside your serverless applications.

What are the limitations of using serverless compute for AI workloads?▼

Serverless compute for AI workloads provides automatic scaling and per-second billing but requires configuring images, volumes, and secrets, meaning local state is lost between executions without persistent storage.
