I remembered reading about the DBOS paper a while back - https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.11112. Is this an evolution of that research work? If so, how did an OS for databases morph into a workflow orchestration service?
It is an evolution. The DBOS workflow orchestrator places a DB at the center of your application to handle most of the complicated state management problems.
