Restate

Restate + Vercel AI SDK = enterprise-grade durability for your AI agents with just a few lines of code. Survive crashes, timeouts, and restarts - even for multi-turn conversations, human approval and long-running research agents. @vercel.com @sdk.vercel.ai

AWS’s us-east-1 outage took down ChatGPT, Snapchat & Perplexity. The same happened in 2021: Netflix, Disney+, and Robinhood all went dark. The reason? Often a lack of true geo-replication. Here's how you can run apps with zero downtime during a region failure using Restate 🧵

We ran a Restate app deployed in multiple regions, then killed an entire region. Result: ✅ Zero downtime ✅ Auto-failover in <60s ✅ No data loss ✅ All requests processed

AWS’s us-east-1 outage took down ChatGPT, Snapchat & Perplexity. The same happened in 2021: Netflix, Disney+, and Robinhood all went dark. The reason? Often a lack of true geo-replication. Here's how you can run apps with zero downtime during a region failure using Restate 🧵

Traditional geo-replication is brutally hard: - Complex distributed state management - Custom replication logic & conflict resolution - Leader election - Restructuring your entire application code It's an expert-level undertaking that costs companies months of engineering time.

🚀 Yesterday, we announced that 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 is now publicly available. Today, we’re announcing 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝟭.𝟱! This release brings key features for building, controlling and observing your durable agents and workflows.

The Restate UI has improved so much over the last releases. The UI now shows a live timeline of execution steps, including retries, nested RPC calls, events, and even cancellation signals. And it's so beautiful!

🎉 Exciting news! 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 is now publicly available! Build workflows and AI agents with durable execution, observability, and production-grade availability without running any stateful infra yourself.

Restate Cloud has all you need to develop transactional, resilient, secure applications. Connect services running on serverless compute platforms like @cloudflare.social, @vercel.com, @deno.land, or AWS Lambda. Or on your own infra on AWS, GCP, or Kubernetes. www.restate.dev/blog/announc...

A lot is brewing at Restate! Here’s the first in a series of rollouts coming over the next few weeks ✨ Stay tuned!

🎥 Build Durable AI Agents with Restate + Vercel AI SDK Here are the highlights from our recent community meeting on building resilient AI agents using Restate with your favorite Agent SDK (like Vercel AI or OpenAI).

Why Durable Execution matters: 🔁 Automatic retries & recovery ⏳ Long-running workflows 🧠 Resilient human-in-the-loop 🕹️ Agent orchestration 👀 Built-in observability ▶️ Watch the full session: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bawf...

Join the community meeting next week to learn how combining Restate with your agent SDK (Vercel AI, OpenAI, ...) gives your agents a set of powerful features.

@stephanewen.bsky.social will give us a demo of Restate + AI Agents and how you can get started! Register here: lu.ma/372aiucf

Restate auto-retries temporary issues like network glitches. But for business logic failures ("Hotel fully booked"), retrying won't help. Instead, Restate helps you gracefully undo previous steps using sagas - each action has a matching "undo" step that runs when needed.

When to use Sagas: - Business logic failures ("hotel full", "product not available") where retrying won't help - Cancelling ongoing requests, and letting them roll back Your system never ends up in a half-finished state!

Serverless is great, until you need to manage state. This is where Restate comes in! Learn how to combine Knative with Restate to build serverless applications on Kubernetes that are not only scalable, but also stateful and resilient. 🧵

🔥Restate and Knative are a great match! - Knative gives you the scale-to-zero magic of serverless, on your own infra. - Restate lets you write state machines, orchestration logic, and sagas and run them resiliently on any serverless platform. No external orchestrators needed.

We recently did a community meeting on Restate 1.3 and its new features. Have a look to learn more about how the Restate SDKs work, and how you can use them to implement resilient concurrent tasks. 👇 YouTube link below

The community meeting of Thursday May 8 will include demos of all the new features of Restate 1.3! Join to learn how the SDKs work under-the-hood and how to implement resilient concurrent applications with Restate.
