DBOS
DBOS
Durable workflows and queues as a library, backed by the Postgres you already run.
Overview
DBOS adds durable workflows to your application as a library (Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust and Java), with no separate orchestration server. Workflows resume from the last completed step after a restart and can pause until a notification arrives — useful for approvals. DBOS Conductor is a control plane you can self-host or connect to.
Production criteria
| Approval gatesCan a person or policy hold an action until it is approved? | Documented pattern Workflows can pause on DBOS.recv until a notification is sent. |
|---|---|
| Restart recoveryDoes work resume after a crash or redeploy without repeating finished steps? | Built in Workflows resume from the last completed step after a restart. |
| Evidence trailCan you inspect what ran, with what inputs, and who approved it? | Documented pattern Step checkpoints live in your Postgres and can be queried; not a purpose-built audit log. |
| Kill switchCan an operator withdraw permission or stop further actions? | Not claimed Not documented by the vendor or not yet reviewed. |
| Policy controlsDo declared rules decide which tools and actions are allowed? | Not claimed Not documented by the vendor or not yet reviewed. |
| Sandbox isolationDoes code or tool execution run inside an isolated boundary? | Not claimed Not documented by the vendor or not yet reviewed. |
