“State Your Success: Restate Secures $7M in Funding for Revolutionary Workflows-As-Code Solution”
The promise of Restate is that it is so fast and lightweight that it will allow developers to use it where traditional workflow systems would’ve been too slow and resource-intensive.
The open-source platform Temporal, for example, offers a somewhat similar feature set, though the Restate team would likely argue that its system is faster and more lightweight.
Virtually every modern application today consists of chains of workflows that are handled by a distributed set of services that have to reliably talk to each other.
He believes this will make the service usable in situations where you’d not classically use a workflow engine — think e-commerce shopping carts, for example.
“[Restate] does the classical workflows code things, just on an extremely lightweight foundation — and it goes a little further than just standard workflow use cases.
