Restate 1.0

We're happy to announce that Restate has reached the 1.0 milestone!

Storage compatibility

From this release onward, we guarantee storage compatibility when updating your Restate deployment. Check the versions documentation for more details.

From now on the SDK and Restate server releases are decoupled, meaning you will be able to run a service built with an old SDK version on newer server releases. More info on that to follow.

Workflow API

We have introduced a new API to simplify building workflows, check out the documentation: https://docs.restate.dev/develop/java/workflows

CLI

We have a bunch of new commands on the CLI to help you develop your application locally, check them out: https://docs.restate.dev/develop/local_dev

Metrics

The server now exports a lot of useful metrics to observe the system, check the documentation to configure them:https://docs.restate.dev/operate/monitoring/metrics
