We are very excited to announce that DBOS has been named as a Cool Vendor in the 2024 Gartner Cool Vendors in Enabling Efficient Cloud Operations Report. This recognition is another validation of DBOS and its ability to vastly simplify the way cloud-native applications are built and deployed.
What Makes DBOS So Cool?
Over the years, cloud applications have become larger in scale, increasingly complex and distributed, and as a result, much more costly to build, run, and secure.
DBOS, a new lightweight open source durable execution library and stateful serverless cloud platform as a service (PaaS), was designed to solve these shortcomings by a joint MIT-Stanford R&D team, led by Postgres creator Mike Stonebraker, and Apache Spark creator Matei Zaharia.
DBOS is a major step forward in cloud-native and serverless computing. TypeScript (and soon Python) cloud applications built and run on DBOS:
- Scale to millions of requests with a single click
- Run 25x more cost-efficiently than AWS Lambda
- Require 10x less code to build
- Benefit from durable, exactly-once workflow execution
- Are resilient to failures
- Are observable and auditable by default
- Do not require hosting and administering complex infrastructure stacks with large cyberattack surfaces

DBOS Users Think It’s Cool
"DBOS isn't kidding when they say they make serverless simple. Their claims about speed and ease are right on. On top of that, it's really refreshing to have a framework company that actively encourages contributions and feature ideas."
Your Bottom Line Will Think It's Cool
See for Yourself
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be a cool idea to try DBOS:
- Is hosting and managing containers increasing complexity and cost?
- Is it taking weeks to code new features instead of a few days?
- Is your CI/CD pipeline too complicated? Difficult to maintain?
- Troubleshooting taking too long?
- Are your AWS Lambda and Step Function costs too high?
- Paying extra for observability? Workflow orchestration?
- Would it take you days to recover from a system crash or cyberattack instead of minutes?
Getting started is easy (and free), here’s how:
- Create a free DBOS Cloud account and run the demo app
- Check out the open source durable execution library (Python and TypeScript) and start building with DBOS
- Read the DBOS documentation
