Case Study: Ramp achieves full-computer AI agent workflows with Modal VM Sandboxes

Ramp powers 20 million VM agents with Modal

Modal helped Ramp, a financial technology company, build an internal agent to drive its entire software development lifecycle. Ramp's agents required a more robust environment that could run complex setups like Docker stacks and local databases, which was challenging within the constraints of traditional container runtimes.

The solution was Modal's VM Sandboxes, which provided a full Linux machine environment. This allowed Ramp's agents to operate with the power of a real computer, seamlessly supporting tools like Docker. The implementation was a success, demonstrated by the fact that Modal's early customers, including Ramp, launched over 20 million VMs, proving the solution's scalability and impact.
