Announcing Restate Cloud Early Access

Restate Cloud, a serverless managed offering, has announced early access to its free tier, allowing users to quickly deploy and operate applications without managing infrastructure. Designed to simplify the hosting of applications on serverless platforms like AWS Lambda, Restate Cloud offers a seamless local development experience, allowing developers to run it entirely on their laptops or in cloud environments with minimal setup. The architecture comprises a control plane, implemented with a custom Kubernetes Operator for rapid environment creation, and a data plane managed through Kubernetes, ensuring scalability and isolation. The free tier, while lacking strict availability SLAs, supports limited resources and is suitable for development and testing, with plans for future premium tiers offering enhanced performance and support. Users are encouraged to provide feedback to help steer the project's development, with the potential for new usage limits to maintain service quality as the platform evolves.
