Fast, lazy container loading in Modal.com


On August 15th in Gowanus, Brooklyn I gave a talk at NYC Systems on some of the container runtime stuff I’ve worked on at Modal in the past two years.

NYC Systems is a delightfully ‘in the weeds’ kind of meetup and I enjoyed the challenge of presenting to such a knowledgable bunch of people. The kind of systems work explored in the talk is exactly what I was seeking when I moved to work at a cloud infra company.

If this stuff is equally as interesting to you, we’re of course hiring at Modal :)

If you’re after a higher level look at the what and why of Modal, Erik Bernhardsson, the CEO, gave at Data Council talk last year.
