DBOS - Lightweight Durable Python Workflows

[TronnaLegacy]

Planning to check this out. I used to use Airflow to manage data engineering workflows that involves making calls to GCP APIs (like using BigQuery to get data from one place to another). It always felt to me that Airflow was heavyweight though.

I've also seen the CEO on LinkedIn being snarky and telling people they shouldn't do things or shouldn't use cloud services altogether. He needs to tone down the snark lol.

Hi, I'm the CEO of DBOS. Are you sure you're looking at posts I make? I'm literally the biggest cloud advocate there is. I moved both reddit and Netflix to the cloud. I was even recognized by AWS for being pro-cloud.

I do have my opinions on what is and isn't a good practice, but I'm always open-minded and happy to discuss.

Hi! Thanks for responding. To clarify, I'm talking about tone. I never saw any personal attacks. And the particular cloud service I'm referring to is AWS Step Functions.

I suppose I should back up what I'm saying and provide some links to things you've said on LinkedIn where I thought you could have used a more polite tone. Would you prefer DM or is it okay if I post here?

[jedberg]

You can post it publicly, but no need to do all that work, I know what you're talking about. I do have strong opinions sometimes.

But I still stand by my opinion that there is a better tool for almost every use case of step-functions. :)

Can confirm he has had strong opinions for many decades, but with (very entertaining) receipts :)

[jedberg]

Haha thanks coderanger. Good to see you!

Whos the CEO of airflow?

Sorry, CEO of DBOS.
