fal is a serverless Python runtime that lets you run and scale code in the cloud with no infra management.

With fal, you can build pipelines, serve ML models and scale them up to many users. You scale down to 0 when you don't use any resources.

First, you need to install the fal package. You can do so using pip:

pip install fal

Then you need to authenticate:

fal auth login

You can also use fal keys that you can get from our dashboard.

Now can use the fal package in your Python scripts as follows:

import fal

@fal.function(
    "virtualenv",
    requirements=["pyjokes"],
)
def tell_joke() -> str:
    import pyjokes

    joke = pyjokes.get_joke()
    return joke

print("Joke from the clouds: ", tell_joke())

A new virtual environment will be created by fal in the cloud and the set of requirements that we passed will be installed as soon as this function is called. From that point on, our code will be executed as if it were running locally, and the joke prepared by the pyjokes library will be returned.

If you would like to find out more about the capabilities of fal, check out to the docs. You can learn more about persistent storage, function caches and deploying your functions as API endpoints.
