Product overview
Restate builds a lightweight runtime that turns AI agents, workflows, and backend services into durable processes by automatically persisting execution steps for failure recovery without complex infrastructure. It integrates with frameworks like Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, and supports composable patterns from simple LLM chains to multi-agent systems with observability and safety features.. Developers and companies use it to deploy resilient distributed apps on self-hosted servers or Restate Cloud, eliminating manual retry logic and state management. Its distinction lies in low-latency, single-binary deployment in any language/environment, outperforming traditional orchestrators in performance and simplicity.
