Restate is a durable execution platform, similar to Temporal, developed by the original creators of Apache Flink. Feature-wise it offers workflows as code, stateful event processing, the saga pattern and durable state machines. Written in Rust and deployed as a single binary, it uses a distributed log to record events, implemented using a virtual consensus algorithm based on Flexible Paxos; this ensures durability in the event of node failure. SDKs are available for the usual suspects: Java, Go, Rust and TypeScript. We still maintain that it's best to avoid distributed transactions in distributed systems, because of both the additional complexity and the inevitable additional operational overhead involved. However, this platform is worth assessing if you can’t avoid distributed transactions in your environment.
