Batching and data locality are two powerful optimizations in systems design. They're also key to making data retention scale in DBOS. In this post, we share a few war stories from debugging our Postgres implementation and answer a question we often hear: "Why don't you just use table partitioning?"

Really enjoyed this write-up on how they built Fern Agent. It's a good example of durable agents with DBOS in action: checkpointing model and tool calls in the same Postgres the agent already uses, then picking up where it left off after crashes or deploys. buildwithfern.com/post/buildin...

How we built Fern Agent: why we persisted conversations before it had a single tool, taught it that valid markdown isn't valid Fern, and secured write access to customer docs before it shipped.

I spend less time clicking around web UIs and more time in the terminal these days. CLI tools are often easier for agents to understand and use, and they're becoming easier for me too. I can type what I want, ask an agent to run it, or use them in CI/CD pipelines.

Even though I'm a big fan of Postgres, its lack of loose index scan is frustrating.. The workaround is a recursive query that effectively acts as a loop, which is even more bizarre. Check out this new blog post about the performance issue with Postgres SELECT DISTINCT: www.dbos.dev/blog/postgre...
