We are increasingly using Temporal with Temporal Cloud and soon Nexus to manage numerous workflows. I'm curious what type of observability is avialable for DBOS and how much of that you get for "free". The reason we ended up in Temporal was not that previous job-systems were unreliable, it was simply that nobody wanted to go dig through a database to find out what happened with their job, and nobody has time/energy to build a UI just for that purpose.
There's an observability and workflow management UI: https://docs.dbos.dev/java/tutorials/workflow-management
You can view your workflows and queues, search/filter them by any number of criteria, visualize graphs of workflow steps, cancel workflows, resume workflows, restart workflows from a specific step--everything you'd want.
Currently, this is available as a managed offering (Conductor - https://docs.dbos.dev/production/self-hosting/conductor), but we're also releasing a self-hostable version of it soon.
Recently added DBOS python to one of my FOSS projects. It's awesome, looking forward to seeing what that self hostable observability would look like. I have been looking in the DB and OTEL logs to debug development.
I was super interested in DBOS but I had to back out when I figured that the observability isn't self hostable yet :(, so I'm chuffed to hear its coming!
Whats the best way to hear about it when it does? Maybe newsletter I can register to or something.
one way is to follow https://www.linkedin.com/company/dbos-inc for updates
