"Giving coding agents full access to all of Ramp's engineering tools is what makes Inspect truly innovative. Instead of only letting agents write basic code, Ramp's system runs in sandboxed virtual machines on Modal. It works seamlessly with databases, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools like Sentry and Datadog, feature flags, and communication platforms such as Slack and GitHub. Agents can write code and ensure it works by using the same testing and validation processes that engineers use every day."
"Ramp's decision to build on Modal's infrastructure proves central to Inspect's performance characteristics. The platform starts sessions almost instantly and supports unlimited concurrent sessions. This lets multiple engineers work with separate agent instances at the same time without competing for resources. Modal's sandboxing features and file system snapshots keep code execution safe. This also allows for quick iteration cycles."
"Ramp's engineering team says this verification loop marks a major change from old code generation tools. The agent can run tests, check monitoring dashboards, query databases for validation, and join code reviews. This helps close what they call the verification gap that affects many AI coding assistants."
Ramp built Inspect, an internal coding agent adopted for about 30% of merged pull requests across frontend and backend repositories. Inspect runs in sandboxed virtual machines on Modal and connects to databases, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools (Sentry, Datadog), feature flags, and communication platforms like Slack and GitHub. Agents can write code and validate it using the same testing and review workflows that engineers use, closing a verification gap present in older code generation tools. Modal provides near-instant sessions, unlimited concurrent instances, sandboxing, and file-system snapshots. Cloudflare Durable Objects maintain conversation and session state across interactions.
