Three years ago, we started Restate because we felt that building reliable distributed applications was just too hard. We were solving the same problems around failures, recovery, and consistency again and again.
Today, I'm excited to share that we've raised a $20M Series A led by Singular with participation from Redpoint Ventures and Capital One Ventures.
The need for solutions like Durable Execution has only grown since we started. Today, the majority of new Restate use cases are AI agents: long-running processes, coordinating across many tools and APIs, that need to keep working correctly through all sorts of failures and interruptions, coordinate sub-agents, or schedule work.
At the same time, our customers have pushed Restate into places that expanded our own view of what Durable Execution could become. Replit moved the execution of Replit Agent onto Restate. DOSS runs high volumes of enterprise workflows on Restate and Fortune 500 institutions are using Restate for complex transactional workflows.
We think this is just the beginning and excited to build what we believe will be a fundamental pillar of all infrastructure in the future.

.@snntrable just revealed at #flinkforward what I have been working on for a while. We're adding a Streaming SQL Platform to @Ververica Platform to unlock the power of Flink SQL and make it super easy to use! BTW Ververica Platform community edition is available for free!

In our education system, we need to include lessons, like those concerning physical hygiene, that focus on mental and emotional hygiene, that teach how to develop a healthy mind. This is the core of what I call secular ethics.

Interesting Article about Alibaba City Brain - Adjusts traffic lights in real-time to reduce traffic congestion and clear paths for emergency response vehicles.
Best part: It is built on @ApacheFlink (picture of presentation from #FlinkForward Beijing).

About a year ago the @ApacheBeam community went out on a quest to add Python and Go support to its Runners, which could only handle Java at the time.
It's time to recap:
