Reviewer scorecard
“The best DX for serverless GPU compute. Decorate a function, it runs on cloud GPUs. Caching and volumes just work.”
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“Eliminates GPU infrastructure management entirely. The Python SDK is delightfully simple.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“Serverless GPU is the future of AI compute. Modal's developer experience is setting the standard.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
