Restate Durable Execution Framework

Restate is a durable execution framework that makes applications resilient to failures. Use this skill when building:

• Durable workflows with automatic retries
• Services with persisted state (Virtual Objects)
• Microservice orchestration with transactional guarantees
• Event processing with exactly-once semantics
• Long-running tasks that survive crashes

When to Use Restate

Use Restate when:

• Building workflows that must complete despite failures
• Need automatic retry and recovery without manual retry logic
• Building stateful services (shopping carts, user sessions, payment processing)
• Orchestrating multiple services with saga/compensation patterns
• Processing events with exactly-once delivery guarantees
• Scheduling durable timers and cron jobs
