Damn, Stonebreaker, Zaharia. Seems like the big guns are out for the new data model in town.

This tech feels like fancy RDBMS triggers backed (and made unique) by a distributed log. Looks very much like the same tech as Flink's statefun and Restate.dev.

Just like SSD gave us LSM trees and RocksDB, it seems like this is the higher level abstraction that Kafka enables. It's going to be interesting to see how it pans out.

Reminds me of OS/400. Can I download DBOS to run it locally?

Web page says "So Matei and I launched a joint MIT-Stanford open-source R&D project to prototype DBOS"

and it points to this site: https://dbos-project.github.io/ and https://github.com/DBOS-project

Neither contain much source code at all.

Under pricing on the main page it says:

Can I run DBOS Cloud on-premises?

The DBOS SDK can deploy your transactional, fault-tolerant TypeScript code locally (any platform) for testing purposes. For production deployment, deploy your code from the SDK to DBOS Cloud

But that is for DBOSCloud, but I guess it goes for DBOS as well?

I can run linux on a raspberry pi. I can run kubernetes on a raspberry pi (if I wanted to). Can I run DBOS on a raspberry pi?

Yeah this quote sounds a lot like the Tanenbaum–Torvalds debate
