Relay: An Open-Source Control Plane for DBOS Applications.

DBOS Transact delivers lightweight durable execution, but upstream coordination relies on a proprietary control plane. Relay is a clean-room, open-source Conductor alternative with multi-SDK wire compatibility, dual-engine storage scaling from embedded SQLite to clustered PostgreSQL, and zero cloud lock-in.

Scaling DBOS: From Prototyping to Production-Grade Durability

When you first start with DBOS, the magic is in the simplicity: your database is the orchestrator. You don't need to manage a separate cluster or navigate complex RPC configurations—you just use Postgres. 🙋If you are here and are wondering what DBOS is, then maybe check out their docs here. But as your application matures and your workflow throughput hits production-level scale, that same simplicity can become your biggest bottleneck if not handled correctly. Scaling DBOS isn't about throwing

DBOS vs. Temporal - Choosing Your Durable Executor

Backend development increasingly demands applications that are not only scalable but also inherently reliable. Durable execution platforms like DBOS and Temporal have emerged as viable options for production software, offering solutions for building and operating complex, distributed systems. This post provides a comparison to help software engineers, particularly those targeting on-premise deployments, understand the trade-offs between these two powerful tools. In this post, we assume a founda
