The basic primitives Restate offers to simplify application development are the following:
- Reliable Execution: user code will always run to completion. Intermediate failures result in re-tries that use the durable execution mechanism to recover partial progress and not duplicate already executed steps.
- Suspending User Code: long-running user code suspends when awaiting on a promise and resume when that promise is resolved.
- Reliable Communication: user code communicates with exactly-once semantics. Restate reliably delivers messages and anchors both sender and receiver in the durable execution to ensure no losses or duplicates can happen.
- Durable Timers: user code can sleep (and suspend) or schedule calls for later.
- Isolation: user code can be keyed, which makes Restate scheduled them to obey single-writer-per-key semantics.
- Consistent State: keyed user code can attach key/value state, which is eagerly pushed into handlers during invocation, and written back upon completion. This is particularly efficient for FaaS deployments (stateful serverless, yay!).
- Observability & Introspection: Restate automatically generates Open Telemetry traces for the interactions between handlers and gives you a SQL shell to query the distributed state of the application.

Restate follows Semantic Versioning.
You can safely upgrade from a Restate x.y to x.(y+1) release without performing any manual data migration, as Restate performs an automatic data migration for you.
For SDK compatibility, refer to the supported version matrix in the respective READMEs:
