Hands-on Introduction to Restate | Rawkode Live

Restate is the platform for building resilient applications that tolerate all infrastructure faults w/o the need for a PhD.
Restate.dev is a platform designed to make building resilient, distributed applications much simpler. It allows developers to write familiar RPC-style services and functions, but executes them with an event-driven foundation for scalability and fault tolerance. It aims to eliminate the complexity typically associated with distributed systems, making them easier to build, debug, and operate, even in the face of infrastructure failures.

Restate.dev provides a unique programming model combining the simplicity of RPC with the resilience of event-driven architectures. It achieves this by adding durability to invocations, promises, communication, and state, ensuring that applications can recover seamlessly from failures. It's designed to be flexible and can be used in various environments, including FaaS, Kubernetes, servers, and containers, both self-hosted and fully managed

great demo. i was wondering how they do the distributed part in restate ? are they using raft or something similar ? meaning if you have many restate services running what are they using as the consensus mechanism ? how do they agree on what the "log" is ?

[@RawkodeAcademy]

I don't believe Restate, at this time, can be clustered with high availability. I'll reach out to the team and ask

[@joebowbeer]

Restate’s core is a distributed Raft log of events and commands.. They are working on adding high availability now.
