Restate's $20M Series A signals a real infrastructure need: long-running agents must recover after failure without blindly repeating tool calls. Restate records workflow steps to support that recovery.
A scientific agent may search, analyze, request approval and run an expensive experiment. If it crashes, where does it resume—and how do we know what already happened?
Our view: durable execution records could also support reproducible research traces. Recovery and scientific verification are different goals, but both depend on a trustworthy account of actions.
