Six years ago, DBOS started as a joint research project at MIT and Stanford on applying database principles to modern applications. Today we announced a major milestone: the issuance of U.S. Patent for our database-centric durable workflow architecture.
When you talk about the Trojan Horse people are like "they couldn't have been that stupid" as if the United States of America didn't elect Trump twice
Well I was planning on working this morning. Not sure if Salem is on board with that plan
I'm watching Alien (rewatching obviously) Why do spaceships even have self destruct systems in scifi stories? Not "jury rig the ship to explode", a system designed to blow up the ship. I mean, what's the reasoning behind that? Who thought that was needed or even a not-batshit-insane idea? smh
My mother had two siblings growing up and they would fight as sibling often do. One time when my mother's sister and brother were fighting her sister explained to my grandmother that "by mistaking my foot was in his face". It was an #HonestMistake
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 2mo agoOpenAI has confirmed that sometimes GPT 5.6 could make "an honest mistake" and delete your home directory. It's recommended to enable sandboxing protections including auto review to protect against this problem while OpenAI works on mitigations. 😬
Happy to see the first community-maintained Rust implementation of DBOS Transact. Durare implements the same programming model, database schema, and execution semantics as the official DBOS Transact, with full compatibility with DBOS Conductor. Check it out: github.com/SamuelXing/d...

Whenever I hear "rediscover" and "database" together, I think of Pat Helland's classic "Transaction Processing and the Barbarian Hordes" talk from *1996* www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoUp...
Qian Li@qianli.dev · 2mo agoIt's interesting to see more AI systems rediscover ideas that databases have been good at for decades: transactions, durability, and correctness. This Thursday at 2pm ET, we'll talk about why those properties matter for AI agents and what we've learned building durable workflows on top of Postgres.
I *LOVE* Shaolin Soccer and cannot wait to see this movie! Thanks @bobchipman.bsky.social for sharing!
Bob Chipman ("MovieBob")@bobchipman.bsky.social · 2mo agoSpeaking of box-office and things American media isn't paying attention to, the biggest hit in China right now is... ...a "woke reboot" of 'SHAOLIN SOCCER.' Really. Which means ...somebody else figure out what that means 🤣🤷♂️
We just released DBOS Golang 0.19.0 This release introduces transactional data sources to the SDK. You can now execute your database queries and DBOS durability operations in the same transaction, enabling exactly-once execution. Full release notes: github.com/dbos-inc/dbo...

I just pulled the trigger on DBOS Transact for Java v0.9. Major new features include: * Step Factories / @TransactionalStep - checkpoint DBOS steps inside a transaction * Dynamic Queues - queues can now be created/updated/deleted at runtime
I recently discovered that several developers are using Clojure with @dbos.dev Transact Java. We don't have official support (yet!) but I just published a Clojure version of the standard DBOS Starter app. Just the ticket for any other developers looking to add durable execution to their Clojure app
As a newcomer to the Java ecosystem, I had no idea how much Spring Boot brings to the table in terms of developer experience. We work hard at @dbos.dev . to make durable execution easy. However, the Spring Boot team takes the idea of "get started with minimum fuss" to the next level.
I just published the 0.8 release of DBOS Transact for Java. It's been about three months since our last release. Doesn't seem like much time, but when I look over the release notes...We sure got a lot of stuff done. Release notes: github.com/dbos-inc/dbo...
Join us May 7 for DBOS User Group! We'll focus on what actually works in production: - LlamaIndex + DBOS (Adrian Lyjak): building agent workflows that survive restarts/errors. - Scaling to 4B workflows/day on Postgres w/ @petereliaskraft.net, what worked, what didn't. Sign up: luma.com/chh8mw4f

Creating agent workflows and architecting the logic is one thing, making them durable and fail-safe is another👇 New integration for durable agent workflows with @dbos.dev execution - Make sure your agents survive crashes, restarts, and errors without writing any checkpoint code.

A presentation so nice, I'm doing it twice. I'll be delivering my Building Reliable Workflows in Java talk again on Feb 24th, this time in Seattle. If you're a Java (or Kotlin!) developer, come hear all about what you can do with DBOS. www.meetup.com/seajug/event...

Highly recommended! @bobchipman.bsky.social stuff is always top notch, but the history here was so frakking interesting!
Bob Chipman ("MovieBob")@bobchipman.bsky.social · 7mo agoTraffic is (starting) to pick up on the new episode, but reminder again our ability to make these is very much proportionate to how much people "want" them so all views and shares remain deeply appreciated 🙏 youtu.be/Y4KcKvDer-U?...
Gunnar is such an incredible writer! He explains durable execution better than I do. I love seeing more lightweight, database-backed approaches getting attention, and really appreciate the thoughtful shout-out for @dbos.dev. Always grateful for folks who push the space forward.

Looking forward to the next #SeattleSystems meetup: luma.com/n6a1kjgj. My background is compilers & debuggers, with a healthy dose of database stuff. But I like to get outside my wheelhouse when I can, so I'm really excited about the Protosocket talk.
