<p>DBOS is a new type of operating system that aims to replace the entire cloud native computing stack. It is designed to provide a scalable, fault-tolerant, and cyber-resilient serverless compute cloud for cloud native applications. DBOS is developed by Dr. Mike Stonebraker, Matei Zaharia, and a joint team of MIT and Stanford computer scientists. The project has received $8.5 million in seed funding. It offers enhanced security, simpler system administration, and the ability to recover from ransomware attacks in seconds. It reduces the operating system to a small kernel of low-level functions and offers performance competitive with traditional methods. The first commercial service built around DBOS is DBOS Cloud, a transactional Functions as a Service (FaaS) platform. DBOS Cloud overturns database-on-OS conventions by eliminating certain layers, reducing cost and complexity while providing backup capabilities. However, scalability and the ability of a small team to handle multiple components remain concerns. DBOS Cloud offers reliable execution and time travel for stateful TypeScript applications. It also provides features like data provenance, observability, and enhanced cyber attack self-detection. To get started, create a free DBOS Cloud account and build and deploy an application using the DBOS TypeScript SDK.</p>
