akbirkhan··on Show HN: Restate – Low-latency durable workflows for JavaScript/Java, in Rust
Nice! Excited tools that makes using microservices easier.

Question tho, when will you guys have python support? I’m a ml researcher here and can you tell that most of my work is now pipelines between different services, e.g. Chaining multiple LLM services. Big bottleneck is if one service returns an error and crashes the full chain.

Big fan of this work nevertheless. Just think you have alpha on the table

akbirkhan··on Solving durable execution's immutability problem
this is pretty important when you move to LLMs as microservices (e.g. calling gpt-4 for some plan / then 3.5 for easier sub component).

Would be keen for a python implementation

akbirkhan··on The Death of Corporate Research Labs
I'm really confused. When looking at artificial intelligence it seems that actually we have dominating corporate labs which through integrated services (such as compute and data), totally dominate academia.

It's coming to the point where researchers that want to make a difference are actively choosing corporate research labs over academic ones.
