Infrastructure for
software that thinks.
Composable stateful compute for AI agents,
collaborative apps, and durable execution.
The Thinker
Auguste Rodin · modeled 1880
Actors
The primitive for stateful workloads.
Co-located with compute for instant reads and writes.
Long-lived when active, hibernates when idle.
Supports bursty workloads and is cost-efficient.
Deploy close to your users without complexity.
Real-time bidirectional streaming built in.
Multi-step operations, durable queues, and timers.
agentOS
A lightweight open-source operating system for agents. Built on WASM & V8.
Near-zero cold start with minimal overhead.
V8 isolates + WASM instead of full VMs.
Your APIs. Your toolchains. No complex agent auth.
S3, SQLite, Google Drive, or the host file system.
V8 isolates + WebAssembly. Configurable policies.
Rivet Cloud, Railway, Vercel, Kubernetes, or on-prem.
Built-In Observability
Debugging and monitoring for actors and agents, from local development to production at scale.
SQLite Viewer
Browse and query SQLite databases in real-time across actors and agent sessions
Workflow State
Inspect workflow progress, steps, and retries as they execute
Event Monitoring
Track every state change, action, and agent event as it happens in real-time
REPL
Debug actors and agent sessions by calling actions, subscribing to events, and interacting directly with your code
Runs where you do.
Serverless, containers, or your own servers — Rivet Actors work with your existing infrastructure, frameworks, and tools.
Start local. Scale to millions.
RivetKit is a library. Connect it to Rivet Cloud or self-host when you need scaling, fault tolerance, and observability.
Just a Library
Install a package and run locally. No servers, no infrastructure. Actors run in your process during development.
Self-Host
Single Rust binary or Docker container. Works with Postgres, file system, or FoundationDB (enterprise). Full dashboard included.
Rivet Cloud
Fully managed Actors and agentOS. Global edge network. Connects to your existing cloud — Vercel, Railway, AWS, wherever you already deploy.
- Global Edge Network
- Scales Seamlessly
- Connects To Your Cloud
Open source, permissively licensed.
Self-hosting matters for enterprise deployments, cloud portability, and avoiding vendor lock-in. Licensed Apache 2.0.
