DBOS Hello

This is a DBOS app bootstrapped with npx @dbos-inc/create and using Knex.

Getting Started

Before you can launch your app, you need a database. DBOS works with any Postgres database, but to make things easier, we've provided a script that starts a Docker Postgres container and creates a database. Run:

node start_postgres_docker.js

If successful, the script should print Database started successfully!.

Next, build the app:

npm run build

Then, run a schema migration to create some tables:

npx dbos-sdk migrate

If successful, the migration should print Migration successful!.

Finally, run the app:

npx dbos-sdk start

To see that it's working, visit this URL in your browser: http://localhost:3000/greeting/dbos. You should get this message: Hello, dbos! You have been greeted 1 times. Each time you refresh the page, the counter should go up by one!

Congratulations! You just launched a DBOS application.

Next Steps

• To add more functionality to this application, modify src/operations.ts, then rebuild and restart it. Alternatively, npm run dev uses nodemon to automatically rebuild and restart the app when source files change, using instructions specified in nodemon.json.
