Just had a great call with a CTO who said he loved DBOS because it “isn’t opinionated.” His team needed the reliability that workflows provide. They had tried other workflow solutions, but couldn’t fit them into their application because they required the organization to…
Mike is the true legend. He is still attending our @DBOS_Inc eng meetings and thinking about ways to improve software reliability with databases. He is also learning and talking about LLMs and all the new AI trends. Never stop learning!

If you use Postgres, I highly recommend checking out DBOS for managing background tasks and long running workflows

Big fan of the SQLite integration: it makes unit testing lightweight. No more spinning up a Postgres server just to run tests. That said, in practice, I find Postgres actually runs faster than SQLite on many workloads. So you still want to use Postgres for production deployment.

A few Canadian faculty members are also participating as advisors… including me! If you are interested in doing a PhD with me and another ELLIS advisor, definitely apply!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing our customers win. If you spend time on GitHub, you've probably spotted the @dosu_ai bot all over, including in some of the most popular AI frameworks. Now it's even more reliable: their ingestion and RAG pipelines run on @DBOS_Inc.
It's a small experiment. My name is so common that finding me on LinkedIn used to mean scrolling through 100 pages of "Qian Li". So I updated my last name to "Li, PhD". It definitely makes me easier to find. Though I worry it sounds self-promotional. Hopefully it just helps…
Took me almost an hour to record a 30-second intro for #p99conf Carefully tuned DSLR, mic, lighting, laptop, chair, background... had to align all the stars. I hope the final cut looks good!
Is there a website/tool that can turn an architecture diagram drawn with Google slides or powerpoint into ASCII art?
We just flipped the @DBOS_Inc Java repo public ahead of tomorrow's monthly user meetup. Now we have "Star Wars" across all four languages: TypeScript, Python, Go, and Java. Help us settle the galaxy balance by dropping your stars here 👇 github.com/dbos-inc
How do you agentically generate documentation for tens of thousands of open-source projects, including LangChain, Airflow, Prisma, and Zod? It’s been a genuine pleasure working with @devstein64 and the team at @dosu_ai . They’re building AI agents that turn your codebase into a…
Good insights! Turns out I've been doing the PM job without realizing it. As a co-founder, I get to wear all the hats 🤠 Now I'm learning how to be an effective product manager too.

What makes building an open-source project special is seeing a community grow around it. That’s why I love our monthly user groups, to meet the community and learn what people are building with DBOS. This Thursday, we’ll hear a presentation about building AI agents for systems…
Packed calendar this week with many valuable discussions. Between meetings, I put together a Pydantic AI + DBOS integration to make it easier to build durable agents that checkpoint state and recover from failures. PR here: github.com/pydantic/pydan… Docs still to come. Feedback…
