Big hugs to friends and family working overtime this time of the year to keep systems alive during the surge. I'm reminded how many people quietly keep the world running. Thank you for everything you do!
Tech friends who work in e-commerce and cloud providers who support us. Have a great week and may the final exam be full of nothing but climbing sales. (Final exam = Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend.)

Thanks so much for hosting the podcast! Really enjoyed our conversation.
The latest episode of the #BugBash podcast has @qianli.dev from DBOS talking about the hard truths of ergonomics. As always, if it ain't easy, it probably won't happen.

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.

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.

80% of backend code is retry and error-handling logic. With durable execution, that disappears.
Every input, output, and error is saved, giving you full observability and debugging out of the box.

We're back on HN! This time with our Postgres-backed durable execution library for Java. It plugs into existing Spring apps with minimal changes and gives you durable workflows, queues, retries, and scheduling without extra infrastructure. Feedback very welcome!

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.

Moreover, their execution is fully observable in the DBOS console (workflow graphs + management, shown in the screenshot) and instrumented with Logfire to trace token usage and cost per step.

I added two new demos showing durable agent patterns (parallel vs sequential) with @pydantic.dev AI + @dbos.dev:
- Deep Research: large fan-out parallel workflows
- Twenty Questions: long sequential subagent chaining
Both are long-running, so durable execution is necessary to survive crashes.

Great sample app from the dbos team of an inbox for durable agentic workflows-
group executions by pending/approved/denied, with state all stored in a PostgreSQL database.

p.s. We have quite a few LOTR fans here. One colleague joked, "DBOS might have saved Gondolin". Earlier this year, I finished both The Hobbit and LOTR books (and the movies, of course), so I'll allow it.

Great to see more people exploring lightweight, Postgres-based approaches to durable workflows. We're chasing the same goal at DBOS: making reliable systems simple, without extra infrastructure or complex setup. Always happy to chat and learn from others working in this space, and keep improving DX!

If your durable execution solution makes you rebuild your stack, it’s not a solution. Embedded libraries keep your architecture intact.
