Restate + useworkflow.dev

Use Restate with useworkflow.dev.

Important

This integration is a proof of concept.

Quick Start

Prerequisites:

• Docker (or OrbStack on Mac) and Docker Compose
• Node.js and pnpm
• A Vercel Workflow example to run

1. Build the Restate World package

git clone https://github.com/restatedev/vercel-workflow.git
cd vercel-workflow
pnpm install && pnpm build && pnpm package

This creates the @restatedev/workflow package that bridges Vercel Workflow to Restate.

2. Navigate to the example and run it

cd packages/examples/workflow 
pnpm run dev

3. Run Restate Server

npx @restatedev/restate-server

4. Register the service

npx @restatedev/restate deployments register http://localhost:3000/.restate-well-known --use-http1.1

5. Invoke the service

  curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/handleUserSignup/run --json '"test@example.com"'   

The service logs print the hook token. You can use it to resolve the hook:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/workflowHooks/your-hook-token-123/resolve --json '{"message": "hello"}'

What this adds on top of Vercel Workflow

You can supply to start():

• Delayed execution
• Idempotency
