Restate Typescript SDK

Restate is a system for easily building resilient applications using distributed durable async/await. This repository contains the Restate SDK for writing services in Node.js / Typescript.

Restate applications are composed of durably executed, stateful RPC handlers that can run either as part of long-running processes, or as FaaS (AWS Lambda).

import * as restate from "@restatedev/restate-sdk";

const greeter = restate.service({
    name: "greeter",
    handlers: {
        greet: async (ctx: restate.Context, name: string) => {
            return `Hello ${name}!`;
        },
    },
});

restate.serve({ services: [greeter], port: 9080 });
