DBOS is a transactional serverless SDK and platform that helps you develop and deploy database-backed TypeScript applications. You develop your applications in TypeScript and PostgreSQL with this SDK, test them locally, then deploy them to DBOS Cloud in minutes.
You want to build your next database-backed application with DBOS because:
- It's simple. Write your business logic using serverless functions, test them locally, and deploy them to DBOS Cloud in minutes. Store all your data in Postgres—we'll manage the connections and transactions for you.
- It's reliable by default. If your workflows are interrupted for any reason, they will always resume from where they left off. Reliable message delivery is built in. Idempotency is built in.
- It makes debugging easy. With our time travel debugger, you can "rewind time" and replay any DBOS Cloud trace locally on your computer, exactly as it originally happened.
The fastest way to get started with DBOS is by following the quickstart, where you'll learn how to get a DBOS application running in less than five minutes.
Here are some of the core features of the DBOS TypeScript SDK:
