DBOS Python is a lean foundation for the modern agent stack. Package size cut from 18 to 6 direct dependencies and from 73 to 10 total dependencies.

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.

Had a fun time at the South Bay Systems meetup last night. Thanks @yugabytedb.bsky.social for hosting!

@codedrift.social gave a great talk on WebAssembly: what it is (and isn't), how it connects to WASI, and promising projects. He cuts through a lot of the hype vs. reality. Recording coming soon.

Just released DBOS TypeScript v4.0!
Following our Python release, we trimmed dependencies in TS too: down from 27 to 6, while still implementing durable workflows and queues in a single library.

It works with both TS/JS and requires no extra orchestrator.

Release notes: github.com/dbos-inc/dbo...

Happy weekend! This week I wore my DBOS T-shirt three days out of five:
one day for a talk recording
one day for the DBOS user group
one day for a podcast recording

At this rate, I either need more T-shirts, or I'll need to do laundry way too often.

We kept:
- sqlalchemy + psycopg: Postgres queries
- dateutil: cron spec parsing
- pyyaml: config parsing
- typer-slim: CLI tooling
- websockets: monitoring/UI

Tracing is optional via dbos[otel]. Fewer moving parts means easier to trust and operate.

Several people (thanks to @mitsuhiko.at and @sa.muelcolvin.com) noted early on that DBOS had too many dependencies. In the latest Python release, we trimmed it down to just 6 direct deps while still implementing durable workflows and queues in one library.

It's lightweight (for real).

I recorded my #p99conf talk yesterday, and my speaker swag box just arrived too! Super sweet and thoughtful gift. I already deployed stickers on my laptop :)

Huge thanks to the organizers @scylladb.com @cynthiadunlop.bsky.social for a smooth recording. Can't wait for the conference!

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

I was drained today from a weird migraine - headache, fatigue, the whole thing. Then I joined a meeting and started talking about @dbos.dev and instantly felt better. I'm grateful and proud of what we're building. Happy weekend!

Something you don't see every day: Postgres creator (and our CTO) Mike Stonebraker signed up for the DBOS user group next week.

This time, Dosu will show how they use DBOS for document ingestion and agentic Q&A. Always inspiring to see what people are building!

Come hang out with us (and Mike).

At some point I might write a blog post on "How to add DBOS to any AI framework". AI agents are basically loops, and DBOS makes loops durable with a few decorators.

Last week, I showed DBOS + Pydantic AI. Today, I implemented DBOS + CrewAI within a few hours. PR: github.com/crewAIInc/cr...

Add support for durable execution with DBOS by qianl15 · Pull Request #3526 · crewAIInc/crewAI

We had our first job posting from a customer on our Discord! And yes, I immediately told them to cross-post in @eatonphil.bsky.social Software Internals channel too.

It's an insightful conversation between Alex and Yunfan. Highly recommend checking it out if you're building or scaling production-grade multi-agent applications.

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.
