Stateful Functions 3.0: Towards a Cross-Platform Stateful Serverless Stack

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Stateful Functions 3.0 claims to provide Apache Flink-backed runtime that atomically couples messaging and distributed state so messages process as if exactly once, with periodic snapshots to object storage (S3/AWS) for durability. Functions run as stateless HTTP services using Java and Python SDKs (Go planned), addressed by logical type+id, routed via a request‑reply protocol, and support rolling, zero‑downtime upgrades while deploying on FaaS, Kubernetes, API gateways or AWS Lambda.
