Restate is a lightweight distributed runtime that turns backend services, workflows, and AI agents into durable processes with automatic recovery from failures. It provides durable execution, consistent built-in state, reliable exactly-once communication, and durable timers, deployable self-hosted, in the cloud, or via BYOC.

Use cases

  • build durable AI agents with reliable tool calls
  • implement workflows-as-code that survive crashes
  • orchestrate microservices with automatic retries
  • process events with exactly-once guarantees
  • run long-running async background tasks
  • schedule durable timers and wait for external events
  • manage stateful actors with strong consistency

When to choose

  • you need fault-tolerant multi-step workflows or orchestrations
  • you are building stateful AI agents or long-running processes
  • you want exactly-once event processing without manual plumbing
  • you want a single self-contained binary with SDKs in TS, Java, Python, Go, or Rust

When to avoid

  • you only need simple stateless request/response services
  • you cannot run additional infrastructure and prefer a pure library
  • you need a fully managed platform and do not want cloud or self-hosted operation
