New startup from Postgres creator puts the database at heart of software stack


A new startup from MIT professor Mike Stonebraker wants to transform the software stack by putting the database at its heart.

The former Turing Award winner invented the Ingres and Postgres databases and helped launch a number of companies including Streambase Systems (acquired by Tibco in 2013), VoltDB, Tamr and SciDB. His latest project, DBOS, puts the database at the center of the software stack, reducing the operating system to a small kernel of low level functions. The current product set includes three main pieces: an open source SDK where developers generate and test code locally, before deploying to an auto-scaling serverless cloud.
