Omnara is an open-source platform for running durable AI agents in the cloud. Agents are created via API calls, with state stored in Postgres for restart survival. The agent loop runs on stateless workers using an append-only event log, supporting tools, subagents, permissions, MCP, and streaming events. Positioned as a self-hosted alternative to Claude Managed Agents and OpenAI Agents API.

Firsthand architectural breakdown of a cloud-native durable agent runtime with concrete tradeoffs versus local harnesses. Useful for anyone designing or evaluating agent infrastructure beyond CLI tools.
