DBOS Transact

DBOS Transact is a modern TypeScript framework for backend applications.

You want to build your next application with DBOS Transact because you need:

• Durable execution. If your app is interrupted for any reason, it automatically resumes from where it left off. Reliable message delivery is built in. Idempotency is built in.
• Built-in observability. Automatically emit OpenTelemetry-compatible logs and traces from any application. Query your app's history from the command line or with SQL.
• A framework built for the tools you love. Build with TypeScript and any PostgreSQL-compatible database. Use raw SQL or your favorite query builder or ORM—we support Drizzle, Knex, TypeORM, and Prisma out of the box.
• Blazing-fast, developer-friendly serverless. Develop your project locally and run it anywhere. When you're ready, deploy it for free to DBOS Cloud and we'll host it for you, 25x faster and 15x cheaper than AWS Lambda.

Getting Started

The fastest way to get started is by following the quickstart, where you'll learn how to get a DBOS Transact application running in less than five minutes.
