this has been all but confirmed for a while. they’re really spinning their wheels on products lately only to kill them, this air.dev slop will undoubtedly meet the same fate. all the while their core products continue to rot

buildkite is leaps and bounds above the others. especially if you need to really tailor your workloads to the change diff (say in a monorepo), the dynamic pipeline support is superb. really surprised there are no others though. dagger.io wa

highly recommend twirp, even in current year. connectrpc seems to have stalled so there isn't a ton of languages w/server support, and because of the grpc interop on top of their own protocol it's a bit of an undertaking to r

this isn't really the case. a lot of legacy code may still be running the version it was developed against, but java 17+ has a sizable share of the ecosystem now that all of the popular libraries require it. spring for example bumped t

unfortunately they've never really taken off so folks reach for explicit state machines instead. there have been a handful of options on the jvm over the years (e.g. quasar, kilim) but they're all abandoned now, the loom continuat

the OP wasn't clear but that's effectively what i settled on by launching workflows (within steps) via the dbos client. keeping that an implementation detail in each service though is probably better + solves the db awareness, jus

by rileymichael 11mo ago
yeah i think that's a step in the right direction, but ultimately as long as the workflow executor needs to know 'who runs this step' there will always be some friction compared to other systems like temporal.

glad to see the java sdk released, i've been following it for a while. one of the rough edges i've noticed w/DBOS is for workflows that span multiple services. all of the examples are contained in a single application and thu

absolute order, you're correct. but several systems support demultiplexing an interleaved stream by some key so that order is retained for all messages in each key space (pulsar key_shared subscriptions, azure service bus sessions, etc

if you need a durable log (which it sounds like you do for if you're going with event sourcing) that has those features, i'd suggest apache pulsar. you effectively get streams with message queue semantics (per-message acks, retrie

it's quite alarming reading the comments in that thread. people 'losing themselves overnight' and sharing that '4.0 made my life worthwhile'.. this is so unhealthy.
