DBOS
Build reliable software effortlessly with durable workflows and queues
DBOS is an open-source durable execution and workflow orchestration library that allows developers to build fault-tolerant, observable applications and AI agents by annotating their existing Python code. It connects to a Postgres database as its backend, requiring no additional infrastructure, and provides features like durable queues, cron scheduling, human-in-the-loop workflows, and a management dashboard called DBOS Conductor. The project is grounded in MIT-Stanford research and integrates natively with popular AI agent frameworks like OpenAI Agents SDK, LlamaIndex, and Pydantic AI.
Developers install the open-source DBOS library, connect it to a Postgres database, and annotate their workflow functions and steps to make them automatically durable, fault-tolerant, and observable.
