AWS's recent us-east-1 outage hit ChatGPT, Snapchat, and Perplexity. In 2021: Netflix, Disney+, Robinhood.
The problem? No true geo-replication.
We show how @restate.dev makes it simple with zero downtime during a simulated region failure:

If yesterday's AWS outage made you rethink your infrastructure, this blog post shows exactly how to build apps that stay up when the cloud goes down.
๐ Full blog post: www.restate.dev/blog/geo-rep...
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}"'
Traditional geo-replication is brutally hard:
- Complex distributed state management
- Custom replication logic & conflict resolution
- Leader election
- Restructuring your entire application code
It's an expert-level undertaking that costs companies months of engineering time.
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
Restate Cloud is now publicly available! This webinar takes you through everything you need to know to get started smoothly:

โLast week, we announced that Restate Cloud is now publicly available. Join us on Wednesday for a hands-on walkthrough of Restate Cloud. Learn how to quickly set up your first project, and start building resilient applications, without managing any infra.

You can also swap it around and add LLM/agentic steps to workflows. For example first parse some text to structured form with an LLM and then execute additional durable steps calling other services/APIs/databases, updating state, etc
You read our mind! Here is an example of a resilient mcp server with Restate: github.com/restatedev/a... Indeed a good fit for Durable Execution together with Restate's task control (start, cancel, re-attach, long-running tasks)
Good question! Restate helps not just agents but workflows in general. The agent might kick off a tool/workflow, that you only want to execute exactly once: maybe it sends an email or writes to a database or updates K/V state. It also lets long/heavy tasks replay instead of redoing work on retry.
The Restate UI has improved so much over the last releases. The UI now shows a live timeline of execution steps, including retries, nested RPC calls, events, and even cancellation signals. And it's so beautiful!
