Are there any plans for supporting other databases? Our company primarily uses and has experience managing MySQL deployments. I evaluated Temporal some time ago as it seemed like a good fit for what we're building so I'm watching this closely. Thanks!

Our primary focus is Postgres. DBOS Python recently added SQLite support, we'll add this to other languages if it proves popular, but no current plans for MySQL.

That said, while DBOS requires Postgres for its own checkpoints, it can (and often is) used alongside other databases like MySQL for application data.

To build on what Peter said, we need to stay focused and make one backend solid before expanding. But architecturally, nothing prevents us from supporting more engines going forward.
