Building apps is easier when your backend just works. With a managed Postgres DB, auth, and real-time updates, @supabase.com simplifies development. Now, DBOS extends this by enabling durable workflows directly inside Postgres. 🧵 Full article here 👇🏼 supabase.com/blog/durable...

Interesting discussions between John Ousterhout and "Uncle Bob" on software design: method length, comments, and test-driven development. It's a great example of "agree to disagree". There is no silver bullet in software design. Let's focus on writing easy-to-parse code 👀 github.com/johnousterho...

Versioning is one of the biggest challenges in software development, especially when an app has long-running workflows that must continue running while the code is upgraded. Interestingly, co-designing durable execution with the runtime can make versioning significantly easier.

Just put together this new demo–an app that visualizes the execution of a durable workflow, showing you what code executes in its backend and how it seamlessly recovers from failures. Would love feedback on it! What works and what isn’t clear?

It’s hard to build a @nextjs.org js app that reliably handles tasks running longer than HTTP request timeouts. Traditional approaches? It's flaky at best. DBOS’s open-source TypeScript library lets you execute durable, long-running tasks directly in your Next.js app. 🧵

Serverless architecture is a powerful choice for modern development. It scales when you need it, costs nothing when idle, and allows you to focus on what matters instead of infra. Now that's love.

Over the past two days, the DBOS team gathered to plan our roadmap for the coming months. We combined creativity with practicality, exploring innovative new features while remaining fully committed to enhancing the user experience, aiming to make building reliable apps effortless.

Serverless computing like AWS Lambda is powerful but comes with its own challenges:🧵 - Many attack surfaces - Upload size limits - Execution time caps - External services needed for scheduling workflows - Most open source are monolith - Vendor lock in - Stateless

What are your favorite observability frameworks and visualization tools? We're expanding observability support in @dbos.dev to improve custom trace exporting and visualization. We're looking to potentially integrate with some popular tools.

I think the most underrated benefit of durable execution is observability. Durable workflows and steps map 1-to-1 to traces and spans used in OTel and most modern observability frameworks. This makes monitoring easier: how often workflows run, where they spend time, and when they error.

One small ask for the community as we try to make DBOS easier to adopt: We just refreshed the “Learn DBOS” guides in our documentation. I’d be really grateful if anyone could look at the new guides, try them out, and give feedback on what works and what needs to be explained better. Thanks a lot!

LLM-powered chatbots are powerful, but they’re also expensive to run at scale. What if you could build an interactive AI chatbot that’s 50x more cost-efficient than other serverless platforms for AI workloads? With @dbos.dev & LangChain, you can. 🧵

Had a wonderful time presenting DBOS to the Bay Area Python Interest Group last night! There was a great discussion about how to integrate durable execution into existing apps--what got people excited about DBOS is that it's just a Python library, so you can "pip install" it into any existing app.

"Postgres is all you need" 🐘 We got the classic "How does it scale?" question on our Show HN post. One user (unaffiliated with DBOS) replied, "Postgres will scale much further than most startups will ever need." — I couldn’t agree more. Don't add unnecessary complexity to your stack.

The DBOS project, which builds a durable workflow execution engine on top of standard Postgres, seems like a really helpful project for folks that don't want to go all-in on using an external service like Temporal, Cadence, etc. supabase.com/blog/durable...
