" summary

Claim: move the application logic into a DBMS-centered platform called DBOS that compiles TypeScript/Python steps into stored procedures, gives once-and-only-once execution guarantees, implements database sagas for cross-transaction compensations, and provides system-wide time-travel debugging and recovery. Promised results: an order-of-magnitude less development (customer example: a feature that took two months on AWS took two days on DBOS) and an order-of-magnitude speedup versus Lambda, running on Firecracker without Kubernetes.
