This really doesn't look as cool as it sounds. The title / header reminds one of operating systems of the past; attempts to have the OS as database like OS/400, but the reality seems far more like a cloud hosted Linux + Postgres + Node/TS + Temporal (or something like it). As in, nothing to see here that we didn't already trivially have. Is there more to see besides the rock star at the helm?

Hi there! I'm from DBOS :) Just wanted to clarify that we don't use Temporal internally.

We provide strong guarantees (like exactly-once transactions) and new features (like database time-travel, you can replay any production trace in a local dev environment). We also believe there's a lot of value in the ease-of-use and simplicity that comes from our architecture: it takes only a few minutes to deploy an app to the cloud.

Check out this 3-minute video for a quick overview of what we offer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6fau5TVmdA
