I'm excited about this because durable workflows are really important for making AI applications production ready :) Disclaimer: I'm working on DBOS, a durable workflow library built on Postgres, which looks complementary to this. I asked their main developer Dillon about the data/durability layer and also the compilation step. I wonder if adding a "DBOS World" will be feasible. That way, you get Postgres-backed durable workflows, queues, messaging, streams, etc all in one package, while the "use workflow" interface remains the same. Here is the response from Dillon, and I hope it's useful for the discussion here: > "The primary datastore is dynamodb and is designed to scale to support tens of thousands of v0 size tenants running hundreds of thousands of concurrent workflows and steps." > "That being said, you don't need to use Vercel as

The node.js run time limitations only apply to the outer wrapper function w/ `use workflow`"
