Welcome to Rivet

Actors combine compute and storage into unified entities for simplified architecture. Actors seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure or can serve as a complete standalone solution.

Whether you're building collaborative applications, multiplayer games, AI agents, or realtime systems, Rivet provides the tools and infrastructure to make your development process smooth and efficient.

What are actors good for?

• Stateful Services: Applications where maintaining state across interactions is critical. For example, Collaborative Apps with shared editing and automatic persistence.
• Realtime Systems: Applications requiring fast, in-memory state modifications or push updates to connected clients. For example, Multiplayer Games with game rooms and player state.
• Long-Running Processes: Tasks that execute over extended periods or in multiple steps. For example, AI Agents with ongoing conversations and stateful tool calls.
• Durability: Processes that must survive crashes and restarts without data loss. For example, Durable Execution workflows that continue after system restarts.
• Horizontal Scalability: Systems that need to scale by distributing load across many instances. For example, Realtime Stream Processing for stateful event handling.
• Local-First Architecture: Systems that synchronize state between offline clients. For example, Local-First Sync between devices.
