Thanks for your kind words! We're focusing on Postgres because an important scenario for durable execution is serverless computing, which won't work with an embedded database.

I am sure you are aware of this, but if not: there are some emerging technologies around embedded database scale-out using CRDT and other replication protocols that would support various “serverless” (as in decentralized) topologies. PGLite, sqlite-cr, libSQL et al. I am informally looking at for serverless executor agents that do not need to coalesce around a central database instance (“server-full”). I am sure you tested something like this, I would guess that classic/CDC replication lag would throw a big wrench into an attempt to orchestrate disconnected remote executors, I am hoping that in a peer to peer topology this new tech will have low enough sync latencies to be useful. Best of luck with DBOS! You have an amazing team.
