Restate on AWS EC2 with CDK

The Restate CDK support library provides convenient constructs for managing Restate server deployments on AWS. We currently offer support for a simple single-node deployment to Amazon EC2.

If you don't have an existing CDK project, follow the CDK Getting started page to set one up.

Adding the Restate CDK support library

Add the Restate CDK support library to your project:

npm install @restatedev/restate-cdk

Deploying a single-node Restate server

The SingleNodeRestateDeployment construct deploys a single-node server on Amazon EC2, suitable for development purposes. An EC2 instance will be created in a new internet-connected VPC – alternatively, you can provide one explicitly. You can optionally enable tracing integration, which will grant the instance role permission to send traces to AWS X-Ray.

import * as restate from "@restatedev/restate-cdk";

const environment = new restate.SingleNodeRestateDeployment(this, "Restate", {
	restateTag: "latest",
	tracing: restate.TracingMode.AWS_XRAY,
	logGroup: new logs.LogGroup(scope, "RestateLogs", {
		logGroupName: "/restate/server-logs",
		retention: logs.RetentionDays.ONE_MONTH,
	}),
});

See deploying Restate services on AWS Lambda with CDK for more information on deploying services.
