Restate GmbH, a technology startup focused on improving application resilience, announced today that it has secured $7 million in funding.
The seed round was led by Redpoint Ventures, with participation from Essence VC, firstminute.capital, and several angel investors, including the founders of Datadog Inc. and Confluent Inc.
Enterprise applications can fail for various reasons, including hardware bottlenecks and software accessibility issues. Such outages can disrupt business operations, making it crucial for developers to incorporate automatic recovery features into their software. However, this process is often complex and time-consuming, as each potential failure must be individually addressed.
Restate aims to simplify this task. The company has developed an open-source platform that offers prepackaged features for recovering from software failures. Developers can integrate their applications with Restate through a straightforward process, enabling automatic management of outages.
Stephan Ewen, co-founder and CEO of Restate, highlighted the challenges of building resilient applications despite the availability of advanced tools and infrastructure. “Even with fast databases, simple APIs, and robust infrastructure, building reliable applications remains difficult due to numerous loosely coupled components,” Ewen wrote in a blog post.
Restate’s platform helps applications handle malfunctions that occur during computing tasks. It saves completed parts of the task before an outage, allowing the application to resume from where it left off, reducing unnecessary delays.
Additionally, Restate addresses issues in data flow between programs. For instance, it can resend requests once a network outage is resolved or shut down inactive application parts to conserve hardware resources.
Alongside the funding announcement, Restate released version 1.0 of its platform. This new release improves integration with Java and Kotlin programming languages and offers enhanced features for optimizing application reliability.
Restate is also launching a commercial offering, Restate Cloud, providing the platform as a managed service. This service eliminates the need for customers to manually set up and maintain the software infrastructure.
The newly secured funds will be used to further enhance Restate’s products. The company plans to support additional programming languages and expand the features of Restate Cloud. To accelerate these developments, Restate will also be expanding its team.
