The record

Product: Modality deploys web apps and static sites, alongside managed Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis, to Modality Cloud or a server you own.
Deployment: A push to a tracked branch builds and releases a new version, and a bad release can be rolled back to an earlier image without rebuilding it.
Previews: When enabled for an app, each pull request builds to its own URL on Modality Cloud.
Builds: Managed builds cover Go, Rust, Node.js, and static sites.
Integrations: The product supports GitHub repository deployment and says coding agents including Cursor and Claude Code can connect through its MCP server.
Observability: Modality Cloud provides runtime logs, request metrics, and deployment logs in its dashboard.
AI tools: Modai is an AI builder in the console, and Juno is Modality's model collection with juno fast, juno, and juno max tiers.
Self-hosting limits: Pull request previews, managed databases, and CPU/RAM metrics are cloud-only, and a runner Frame runs one replica.
Security: The privacy policy says secrets, environment variables, and access tokens are stored encrypted, and that the service uses encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring.
Privacy: The company says it does not sell personal information or use deployment contents for advertising, and it does not use advertising or third-party analytics cookies.
Support: Users can open support tickets in the dashboard, where replies also arrive by email; the documented ticket subject cap is 200 characters and message cap is 8,000 characters.
Intended users: The site describes Modality as designed for engineers and lists solutions for solo developers, teams, agencies, open-source maintainers, and education.
