Choose dbos-transact-ts if…
- dbos-transact-ts is primarily TypeScript; sdk-python is Python.
- Tags unique to dbos-transact-ts: agentic-workflow, cronjob-scheduler, durable-workflows, microservices-orchestration.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- You aim to develop workflows that require durable execution and are backed by a database, specifically PostgreSQL.
When NOT to use dbos-transact-ts
- You require support or orchestration beyond PostgreSQL’s capabilities or need another database system.
- If your project demands workflows written in languages other than TypeScript, dbos-transact-ts is not the right tool as it is specialized for TypeScript-based applications.
Choose sdk-python if…
- sdk-python is primarily Python; dbos-transact-ts is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to sdk-python: microservices, open-source, orchestration, python.
- Need integration with Temporal for task orchestration
When NOT to use sdk-python
- Looking for a general-purpose SDK without focus on temporal workflow orchestration
- Do not require durable execution features or are satisfied with less robust microservices coordination tools
