Modal has introduced Readiness Probes, a feature designed to address the gap between a sandbox container starting and becoming fully operational. While many benchmarks focus on container boot time, Modal highlights that significant application-level setup, such as cloning repositories or installing dependencies, often occurs after the container is live but before it's ready for use. Readiness Probes provide a clear signal when this initialization is complete, allowing developers to optimize the entire startup lifecycle beyond just container scheduling. AI
