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.

I wrote a tutorial on integrating DBOS with Logfire. It's super easy to set up (kudos to the @pydantic.dev team!) -> just a few lines to configure the exporter and your Logfire write token. Once it's running, you'll get a unified view of your app with logs + traces in one place.
