Except to run temporal at scale on prem you’ll need 50x the infra you had before.

Indeed, one of the main selling points of DBOS. All the functionality of Temporal without any of the infrastructure.

Ah I don't know if I would agree with that. Temporal does a lot of stuff; we just don't happen to need most of it and it's really heavyweight on the database side (running low 500 or so workflows/second of their own 'hello world' style echo benchmark translates to 100k database ops/second..

DBOS is tied to Postgres, right? That wouldn't scale anywhere near where we need either.

Sadly there aren't many shortcuts in this space and pretending there are seems a bit hip at the moment. In the end, mostly everyone who can afford to solve such problems are gonna end up writing their own systems for this.
