Serverless cloud infrastructure for AI and data workloads
Write plain Python, attach GPUs or containers, and deploy HTTPS endpoints that autoscale with traffic and scale to zero when idle.
Launch isolated, secure environments for coding agents, RL rollouts, and untrusted code, with sub-second starts and support for over a million concurrent sandboxes.
Run fine-tunes, LoRA, full training, and reinforcement learning on elastic single or multi-node GPU capacity with no quota requests.
Serve LLMs and image, video, or audio models through OpenAI-compatible endpoints, or bring your own inference stack and let Modal handle the infrastructure.
Elastic, MySQL-compatible distributed SQL with HTAP analytics built in
Storage and compute scale up or down in seconds without downtime or manual sharding, letting applications handle spikes and growth while paying for the capacity they use.
TiDB Cloud meets SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, PCI DSS, GDPR and HIPAA standards, with encryption and access controls suitable for regulated workloads.
Distributed transactions and multi-replica Raft consensus keep the database available through node and zone failures, and clusters can span availability zones or regions for disaster recovery.
One engine handles transactional and analytical queries, so you can run real-time reporting and analytics directly on live operational data instead of maintaining a separate warehouse pipeline.
