Cloudstate—Towards Stateful Serverless

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Cloudstate claims to add managed, addressable state to serverless by delegating state to a runtime and supports event sourcing, CRDTs, and key/value backends while running on Akka, gRPC, Kubernetes and GraalVM. The demo builds a conference Q&A using a CRDT observed-remove map of questions with grow-only counters, deploys six replicas that gossip updates through a gRPC proxy, and shows live updates with small replication delay — the implementation is compact and works end-to-end.
