Stateful Functions (StateFun) simplifies the building of distributed stateful applications by combining the best of two worlds: the strong messaging and state consistency guarantees of stateful stream processing, and the elasticity and serverless experience of today’s cloud-native architectures and popular event-driven FaaS platforms. Typical StateFun applications consist of functions deployed behind simple services using these modern platforms, with a separate StateFun cluster playing the role
