         | Hey, I work on Restate. There are lots of differences

         | a self-contained distributed stream-processing engine, which it
         | uses to offer extremely low latency durable execution with
         | strong consistency across AZs/regions. Other products tend to
         | layer on top of other stores, which will inherit the good
         | things and the bad things about those stores when it comes to
         | throughput/latency/multi-region/consistency.

         | We are putting a lot of work into high throughput, low latency,
         | distributed use cases, hence some of the decisions in this
         | article. We felt that this necessitated a new database.
