Just released DBOS Python 3.0 and DBOS TypeScript 5.0! Highlights include schema changes (splitting workflow inputs and outputs into their own tables) that substantially improve performance at scale, especially when data volumes are large. Also large optimizations to workflow retention policies.

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.

Published a new blog post covering the latest batch of features and integrations we shipped this past month. We focused on two areas that matter a lot in production: interoperability and privacy-preserving operations. Read the full update here: dbos.dev/blog/dbos-ne...

Cool new feature: Dynamic workflow schedules! The idea is to store workflow schedules in Postgres so you can dynamically create, view, update, and delete them at runtime, as well as (coming soon) view them from a dashboard. Plus, our new design supports backfilling and manual triggering.

A nice feature in the latest DBOS Python release: you can now call async steps concurrently with native syntax from a workflow. To make that possible, we added code to set a unique ID for each step before it begins, so even though the step executions overlap they’re checkpointed deterministically.

Cool new feature: explicit queue listening! You can now configure exactly which queues each of your workers listens to. This is especially helpful if you have heterogeneous workers (such as some workers for GPU tasks and others for CPU-intensive tasks) as you can easily divide work between them.

Goblins moved from external workflow services to DBOS for faster execution, a unified stack, and full control over debugging and uptime. Alp said "when your database is essentially one millisecond away from your servers, every workflow is just blazing fast.”

For Ontologize, reliably spinning up enterprise software environments at scale required durability and simplicity. DBOS let them scale their deployment pipeline with Python and zero rearchitecting.

Durable execution is underrated. In real systems, any step can fail at any time. Peter breaks down why reliability is such a challenge.

Thanks QCon for having @qianli.dev and @jedberg.net. Their talk covered how durable computing and DBOS Transact boost reliability, remove heavyweight workflow coordinators, and reduce both complexity and cost.

Building reliable AI systems is hard. In this video, @petereliaskraft.net walks through a deep research agent that many of us want to build and the kind that fails in all the surprising ways. Failures are inevitable and a durable workflow is what will make your agent production ready.

When Yutori looked into Temporal, the cost was clear. It would mean rearchitecting their workflows. With DBOS, they could orchestrate durable workflows using just a few Python decorators and a Postgres database.

Celery’s familiar. But once tuning and load management start piling up, things get messy fast. DBOS changes that.

If you’ve ever wondered why your queue is filling up, this one’s for you. Cameron shares how DBOS’s Grafana dashboard helps them see every job, every queue, and fix stuck workflows before things go sideways.

Most systems treat durability as optional. But failures aren’t rare, they’re inevitable. Servers crash, containers restart, network calls fail, and logic errors surface in production. Each time this happens, devs scramble to rebuild context, retry operations, or recover partially completed work. 🧵

What’s the real impact of switching to DBOS? Simpler workflows, better observability, lower infra costs. Hear how it transformed productivity for Dosu.

As LLMs and agents become the foundation of modern software, every stack needs durability and state recovery. DBOS brings that to any agent stack, without the complexity. Hear what Devin from Dosu has to say.

Versioning in DBOS Cloud makes deployments clear and reliable, here’s how Yutori is using it: ✅ Every new release spins up its own VM ✅ Logs are tagged by version, so you know which release produced them ✅ Full observability across versions without losing context

When Yutori was scaling their multi-agent framework, they faced a choice: rewrite everything, or find a simpler path. DBOS made that decision easy. Instead of heavy rewrites, Yutori just added decorators. Instead of new infrastructure, they kept Postgres.

Did you know Dosu turns codebases into living knowledge bases so every team member can ship faster? It integrates into existing workflows, surfacing knowledge whenever it’s needed. We’re proud to power their backend reliability with DBOS.

Reliable software starts with durability. @qianli.dev's research at Stanford revealed how to give code the same guarantees as databases.

As @jedberg.bsky.social put it on Last Week in AWS with @quinnypig.com, moving data reliably in agentic workloads for AI training and inference is tough. DBOS makes it simple.

🚀 DBOS Python 1.0 is here! A year ago, we launched DBOS with a simple belief: durable workflows should be built into your applications, not bolted on. Today, we're excited to release DBOS Python 1.0, a major milestone shaped by months of iteration and community input. ⭐ github.com/dbos-inc/dbo...

When workflow state is scattered across queues, caches, and databases, it becomes difficult to trace failures and recover when outages occur, whether it's due to downstream service outages, software bugs, or dependency failures. Instead, store workflows directly as Postgres rows. 🧵

Workflows are the backbone of @dbos.dev. These are durable, resumable functions that survive executor restarts and crashes. They’re made up of steps which are ordinary Python functions annotated with DBOS.step()
