This appears to be an open source MIT library that anyone can just use. The docs say it can be run locally against PG. but then they say to use DBOS cloud in production without mentioning that it can also be ran in production against any PG database. Just checking that I am not missing something. I would like to support this project while using it but adding a vendor is not always possible (for example I don’t see SOC2 mentioned).
You're correct. You can just use the open source library if you want to. You will get the durability and some observability, but will lose out on the efficiency, reliability, and additional observability that the commercial platform provides. And of course you have to manage all the infrastructure yourself.
FWIW DBOS is currently in the process of getting HIPAA and SOC compliance.
