Co-founder @restatedev: Building resilient applications made easy! Apache Flink Committer and PMC member, Prev: @VervericaData
Berlin, Germany
Joined January 2013
Restate is hiring across two distinct but equally exciting spaces. Hi friends! We are looking to fill two quite different positions, in the Cloud and core Runtime teams. Plenty of Rust, distributed systems, AWS, proprietary magic, and a side of RocksDB. Sound interesting?

Not every workflow step depends on the one before it. To save time, you can run tasks in parallel. But that's not easy. You need to manage concurrency, handle retries, and build persistence to remember which tasks already succeeded after restarts. Restate has this built-in. ๐

Building multi-regional systems is hard, evolving existing systems even more so. Restate replicates your application state across regions - not just for DR failover, continuous active replication and automated reconfiguration - with no code changes required.
AWS's recent us-east-1 outage took down ChatGPT, Snapchat, and Perplexity. The same thing happened in 2021โNetflix, Disney+, and Robinhood all went dark. The culprit? Lack of geo-replication. With @restatedev you can build applications that keep running even if AWS is down. ๐งต

Building geo-replicated apps traditionally means * Wrestling with state consistency * Implementing custom replication * Handling split brains * Rewriting your application With Restate, it's just a config setting. No application code changes. Your business logic stays the same๐ช

We ran a Restate app deployed in multiple regions, then killed an entire region. Result: โ
Zero downtime โ
Auto-failover in <60s โ
No data loss โ
All requests processed

With Restate, geo-replication is a deployment detail, not an application concern. Write normal business logic. Deploy across regions with one config line: 'default-replication = "{region: 2, node: 3}"'

AWSโs us-east-1 outage took down ChatGPT, Snapchat & Perplexity. The same happened in 2021: Netflix, Disney+, and Robinhood all went dark. The reason? Often a lack of true geo-replication. Here's how you can run apps with zero downtime during a region failure using Restate ๐งต

How do you turn your agent code into something reliable and scalable to run millions of executions? We tried building a cloud coding agent with @restatedev for workflows, @modal for sandboxes, @vercel for compute, and GPT-5 / Claude as the LLM. Think a mini version of cursor

Webhooks that just work with @restatedev โ
Event persistance - let Restate acknowledge and persist the event โ
Reliable processing - leverage Durable Execution to run until completion โ
Idempotency - use Idempotency-Key to deduplicate Check it out! https://t.co/uhr0zU4ojV

Combine your favorite AI SDK with a serverless platform and Restate for durable, resilient agents that: โ
Survive crashes & timeouts โ
Scale to zero while waiting for approvals โ
Run 10K+ concurrent agents โ
Live execution timelines โ
Safe versioning https://t.co/7ZaWlqAIWH

We just published a new post on building production-grade serverless AI agents. Serverless is perfect for bursty agentic workloads, but you quickly hit limits for long-running, stateful tasks, like human approvals. Hereโs how we fixed that ๐
