Modal is a cloud platform for deploying and scaling Python-based machine learning, AI, and data processing workloads — all without managing infrastructure. It lets developers run serverless functions with GPU/CPU support and automatically scale them to meet demand. Modal is optimized for use cases such as real-time inference, data pipelines, and background tasks with minimal latency and setup.

It took a little time to grasp the Modal-specific decorators and deployment flow, but once I got it, it saved me a ton of ops work.
