Title: You’re Doing It All Wrong
This talk presents the results of the DBOS (Data Base Operating System) project from its origins as an MIT-Stanford research prototype to its current state as a commercial product. We have written a programming environment and a supporting operating system stack based on DBMS technology which offers useful features and very high performance on the cloud, relative to the traditional application architecture.
In addition, DBOS runs on AWS/Firecracker and does not use Linux or Kubernetes in its stack. In other words, operating system services run on top of the DBMS. This design supports transaction everywhere, high availability, time-travel for all events, and is very scalable. In addition, novel security services can be readily supported.
This talk presents the design decisions, performance and features of Apiary and DBOS.
