Restate Has a Free API — Heres How to Build Resilient Distributed Applications

Restate is a durable execution engine — write normal async code that automatically survives crashes, retries, and network failures. No state machines, no saga patterns. Why Restate? Durable execution : Code survives crashes mid-execution No infrastructure : Restate handles state, retries, timers Normal code : Write regular TypeScript/Java/Go Virtual objects : Stateful serverless with concurrency control Workflows : Long-running processes as code Self-hostable : Docker or binary Quick Setup npm install @restatedev/restate-sdk # Start Restate server docker run --name restate -p 8080:8080 -p 9070:9070 docker.io/restatedev/restate Define a Service import * as restate from ' @restatedev/restate-sdk ' ; const paymentService = restate . service ({ name : ' payments ' , handlers : { processPayment : async ( ctx : restate . Context , order : Order ) => { // This is durable — survives crashes const paymentId = ctx . rand . uuidv4 (); // Side effect — runs exactly once const charge = await ctx .
