Script-first runtimes
Modal

What it runs
Modal is listed as a container or job service. It is best considered within the script-first runtimes category.
Before choosing it
Confirm current runtime limits, pricing, supported regions, secret handling, retry behavior, and time-zone rules in the provider documentation. Those operational details can change.
