If you missed the @StackOverflow episode on how durable execution makes AI more reliable, you can catch the replay here.
🎙️ How does durable execution make AI more reliable? Ryan Donovan is joined on the podcast by @jedberg, CEO of @DBOS_Inc, and @qianl_cs, co-founder, to dive into its use cases, and how it's changing the future of debugging and observability for tech. stackoverflow.blog/2025/05/20/dur…
Observability is more than logging. It’s about tracing every step of a workflow, pinpointing failures, and recovering without guesswork. DBOS makes this built-in by default so you can ship faster and sleep better.
Don’t miss our July virtual meetup today at 11AM PST. We’ll showcase DBOS GO and share how teams like Ontologize are automating software deployments with DBOS. Set a reminder below 👇 lu.ma/sfx9yccw?tk=fH…
Cool new feature: queue priority! When you enqueue a task on a durable queue, you can set a priority. While tasks are normally dequeued in FIFO order, tasks with higher priority are dequeued before tasks with lower priority (lower numbers mean higher priority). This is useful…
We just wrapped up an amazing event yesterday. And we're already gearing up for the next one with @andy_pavlo
Attention, South Bay folk! We have The Databaseologist, @andy_pavlo, giving a talk in the bay on August 6th. Come join us for a great time in hearing: ChatGPT Ain’t Got $%@& On Me! The Future of Automated Database Tuning Register now! lu.ma/ha0dc4nj
Packed room at the South Bay Systems Meetup last night! Thank you to everyone who joined us: engineers, students, tech leaders, and curious minds alike. It was incredible to see such a vibrant and engaged crowd come together around systems and infrastructure. A huge shoutout to…
The most rewarding part of building an open-source project is seeing a community grow around it. That’s why I love our monthly user groups, to meet the community and learn what people are building with DBOS. Tomorrow, we’ll hear a presentation about building scalable CI/CD on…
Join us in 2 days! The DBOS user group meetup features a deep-dive from Ontologize: learn how they train thousands of students every day on complex enterprise systems by deploying isolated software stacks at massive scale, reliably with DBOS. Plus, DBOS Go is picking up steam:…
Let's Go! 📣 Join us next week for the July DBOS User Group Meetup. We're unveiling an early preview for DBOS Go, one of our most requested languages! We'd love your early feedback as we explore this new direction. We're also excited to welcome the engineering team from…
For the past Three+ years, I was building products in TypeScript, Python, and Go. This June, I returned to JAVA to build the Java version of @DBOS_Inc Transact. And I have to say—coming back to Java has been a joy. The language is elegant, expressive, and battle-tested. Its…
In most video games, you can save your progress so that if you die, you don’t have to restart from the beginning. What if you could do the same in your programs? Save their progress so that if they fail, they can recover from where they left off? That’s essentially what durable…
Don’t miss this month’s virtual meetup on Thursday. Get a first look at DBOS GO, explore what’s next on the roadmap, and see how Ontologize is automating complex deployments with DBOS. 👩🏻💻 RSVP below 🗓️ Thursday, July 24 at 11AM PDT lu.ma/sfx9yccw
Ontologize trains teams on complex software like Palantir Foundry and AIP. To support global classes, they deploy isolated environments for every student, thousands of times a day. Ontologize needed resilient, observable workflows that fit into their existing Python backend.…
Here’s a fun demo: an online storefront built on durable workflows. You can crash it as many times as you want, even in the middle of critical operations like payment processing, and it always recovers from exactly where it left off, as if nothing happened. This works because…
From talking to engineering teams, I think one of the toughest parts of operating an AI agent is observability. Debugging a conventional program is hard enough, but AI agents are even more difficult to reason about because they take actions based on unpredictable, sometimes…
If you have a space in South Bay (Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose, etc), please reach out to us!
To South Bay folks: South Bay Systems is currently limited by finding venues willing to host. If you know of somewhere that can host 60+ people and is happy getting a few minutes for a quick "here's who we are, what we do, and who to talk to for hiring", please let me know!
What kind of agentic AI app are you building? Planner, copilot, autonomous workflow engine?
Most apps aren’t as reliable as you think. If a workflow or server fails, you risk losing work, duplicating actions, or leaving users stuck. Durable execution means every step gets recorded, so your app always knows exactly where it left off, even after a crash.…
