Using the SDK

Add Restate and Tokio as dependencies:

[dependencies]
restate-sdk = "0.1"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }

Then you're ready to develop your Restate service using Rust:

use restate_sdk::prelude::*;

#[restate_sdk::service]
trait Greeter {
    async fn greet(name: String) -> HandlerResult<String>;
}

struct GreeterImpl;

impl Greeter for GreeterImpl {
    async fn greet(&self, _: Context<'_>, name: String) -> HandlerResult<String> {
        Ok(format!("Greetings {name}"))
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    // To enable logging/tracing
    // tracing_subscriber::fmt::init();
    HttpServer::new(
        Endpoint::builder()
            .with_service(GreeterImpl.serve())
            .build(),
    )
    .listen_and_serve("0.0.0.0:9080".parse().unwrap())
    .await;
}

Logging

The SDK uses tokio's tracing crate to generate logs. Just configure it as usual through tracing_subscriber to get your logs.

Versions

The Rust SDK is currently in active development, and might break across releases.
