Restate Comparison
Can I migrate state from Restate's virtual objects to Catalyst's Dapr state store without data loss?
Yes, migration is possible but requires careful planning since the state models differ. Restate's virtual objects store state as key-value pairs within its runtime, while Catalyst uses Dapr state stores with configurable consistency and concurrency. You'll need to export Restate state, map it to Dapr state keys, and implement idempotent replay to avoid duplication. Catalyst's durable workflows can then reference this state via Dapr's state management API. There's no automated migration tool; it's a manual process involving schema mapping and testing.
