Stored Procedures: The Good, The Bad, and The Elegant

On August 15, a webcast was presented on using the DBOS Transact library to compile application code into PostgreSQL stored procedures, highlighting both the benefits and challenges of stored procedures in speeding up application performance. The DBOS Transact library simplifies the implementation of stored procedures, offering significant cost savings compared to AWS Lambda for transactional applications by co-locating code execution with a DBMS to reduce latency, and providing workflow orchestration with guaranteed execution. The library supports TypeScript, with plans for a Python version, and maintains version control to manage changes and ensure seamless execution and recovery. Audience questions addressed topics such as error handling, cost efficiency, language support, and transaction isolation levels, with further details available in the webcast recording and documentation.
