Choose dbos-transact-ts if…
- 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-typescript if…
- Tags unique to sdk-typescript: microservices, open-source, orchestration.
- You require TypeScript-specific features and strong typing for your durable execution and microservices orchestration projects.
- More recently updated (last pushed Sep 18, 2026).
When NOT to use sdk-typescript
- If you are working on a project that requires languages other than TypeScript or JavaScript as this specific SDK does not support them directly.
- When your project already utilizes another workflow engine or orchestration tool with incompatible architecture, making integration complex and inefficient.
