# Restate

A lightweight runtime for building resilient distributed applications, workflows, and AI agents by providing durable execution and automatic failure recovery.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same durable execution and runtime capability for building resilient backends and AI agents to the same frontend and full-stack developers that Vercel targets with its AI SDK and agentic workloads infrastructure.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> a lightweight runtime to turn AI agents, workflows, and backend services into durable processes

> Restate provides durable execution, consistent state, and reliable communication all in one

> Build innately resilient backends and agents
