Case Study: Lovable scales to 250,000 app creations in a weekend with Modal

How Modal powered 250,000 Lovable app creations in a weekend

Lovable, a fast-growing startup that allows users to create applications with AI, faced significant scalability and reliability issues with its existing code sandbox provider ahead of a major promotional event. They needed a solution that could handle a massive, sudden surge in user activity without risk of service disruption, leading them to evaluate Modal and its Sandboxes product.

By implementing Modal Sandboxes, Lovable drastically reduced its sandbox orchestration code from 15,000 to 700 lines. During their event, Modal successfully powered the creation of 250,000 applications by running over 1 million sandboxes, with a peak of 20,000 running concurrently. The platform experienced zero downtime, and Lovable's team was not paged once, proving Modal could reliably support their massive scale.
