This repository provides a comprehensive set of examples for Modal, a platform for building and deploying scalable serverless applications. It's designed for developers looking to learn Modal's capabilities and build robust cloud-native applications.

How It Works

The examples demonstrate how to leverage Modal's serverless infrastructure to run Python code in the cloud. Users execute scripts locally, which then communicate with Modal to provision and manage serverless containers on demand, abstracting away infrastructure complexity.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: pip install modal
• Prerequisites: Modal account (free signup at modal.com), API key configured.
• Tested against: Python 3.11.
• Run example: modal run <path_to_example.py>

Highlighted Details

• Guided tour through Modal's concepts and capabilities across 14 categories.
• Demonstrates serverless container spawning on demand.
• Examples cover a wide range of use cases from basic to cluster management.

Maintenance & Community

• Maintained by Modal Labs.
• Community resources (Discord/Slack, etc.) are likely available via modal.com.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: MIT.
• Compatible with commercial and closed-source applications.

Limitations & Caveats

The examples are primarily focused on demonstrating Modal's functionality and may require adaptation for specific production use cases.
