A remote control for your agents

Restate is a durable execution engine designed to enhance control over agentic processes by allowing users to cancel, pause, restart, or resume agent executions through a user interface, CLI, or programmatically. It serves as an intermediary between API clients and code, ensuring that each step of an agent's execution is journaled, enabling recovery from failures and the preservation of work. The tool assigns a unique invocation ID to each request, which remains valid across various scenarios, allowing for actions such as cancelling stuck processes or pausing tasks during system maintenance. The recent release of Restate 1.6 further extends its capabilities, enabling manual pauses and restarts from specific points, thus optimizing resource use and process management. Through its advanced orchestration features, Restate offers a robust solution for managing agentic workflows, providing flexibility and efficiency by allowing users to handle processes programmatically or via an intuitive interface, and is available as an open-source project on GitHub with community support on platforms like Discord and Slack.
