Developer Chris Levy published a full demo of Modal's newly GA'd VM Sandboxes: running a Docker Compose project in the cloud for development, tests, and coding agents.
- What it is: Modal's VM sandboxes, used by the author during beta, now generally available and handle traditional Docker / docker-compose workloads.
- Materials: Talk video, slides, and GitHub example code are all public; the sample app is a starting point—bring your own Compose project and adapt the workflow.
- Use case: Giving coding agents an isolated cloud environment while running the app and its tests—a practical infra combo for agent engineering.
