       | the new data model in town.

       | This tech feels like fancy RDBMS triggers backed (and made
       | unique) by a distributed log. Looks very much like the same tech
       | as Flink's statefun and Restate.dev.
       | 
       | Just like SSD gave us LSM trees and RocksDB, it seems like this
       | is the higher level abstraction that Kafka enables. It's going to
       | be interesting to see how it pans out.

       | Reminds me of OS/400. Can I download DBOS to run it locally?
       | 
       | Web page says "So Matei and I launched a joint MIT-Stanford open-
       | source R&D project to prototype DBOS"
       | 
       | and it points to this site: https://dbos-project.github.io/ and
       | https://github.com/DBOS-project
       | 
       | Neither contain much source code at all.
       | 
       | Under pricing on the main page it says:
       | 
       | Can I run DBOS Cloud on-premises?
       | 
       | The DBOS SDK can deploy your transactional, fault-tolerant
       | TypeScript code locally (any platform) for testing purposes. For
       | production deployment, deploy your code from the SDK to DBOS
       | Cloud
       | 
       | But that is for DBOSCloud, but I guess it goes for DBOS as well?

       | 
       | I can run linux on a raspberry pi. I can run kubernetes on a
       | raspberry pi (if I wanted to). Can I run DBOS on a raspberry pi?

       | I doubt he remembers me. In any case even back then he would say
       | that the database should just do everything in our staff
       | meetings.
       | 
       | Many of us were smirking back then each time it came up, but it
       | looks like now, 20 years later, he is finally having a go at it!
       | 
       | He is one of the smartest people I have ever met - as far as I
       | can tell :) So if there's someone who can do it, it is him and
       | the team he assembles.

       | 
       | We got it, it's awesome, stop making _NEW THREADS_ where everyone
