WASM- & V8 isolate-based operating system that's (almost) POSIX-compliant, including its own network stack, VFS, process tree, etc. Allows you to compile most C or Rust programs to run in it without modification. Also can run Claud

Yep, everyone seems to reinventing the actor model from first principles right now. We're taking a different approach of building the best actor primitive for mainstream languages and letting people build a thin AI layer on top. We did

Hey! This is a common question. In our experience, most apps don't need cross-tenant queries outside of BI. For example, think about the apps you use on a daily basis: Linear, Slack, ChatGPT all fit well with an actor-per-workspace or

We built everything with this architecture internally already at Rivet. It's less common than you might expect to have to query cross-DB in practice. However, we are planning on building a query engine that can operate over multiple da

Been using it for a bit now, it's very convenient if I may say so myself. We're shipping a big stability update in a few minutes – would love feedback!

Yes. We want to support ACP. They have a spec for HTTP transport in the works, but there is nothing public on it. Trying to backchannel to the right folks.

Thank you! Posted this morning an overview of the project: https://x.com/NathanFlurry/status/2018366627021291699

That's correct. As you said – in terms of project goals, the biggest difference is: - ACP seems to be focused on providing a universal API for the subset of features required for editors - Sandbox Agent SDK is focused on automating age

We’re doing this on https://rivet.dev now. I did not realize how much context bloat we had since we were using Tailwind.

A 1 CPU + 2 GB of RAM + 50 GB ephemeral storage on Cloudflare Containers is $74.90. The same on Fly Machines is $31.00 (performance-1x, varies by region). Fly Machines has the same sleeping functionality as Cloudflare. Rivet Containers also

I hope this isn't the case here with Rivet. I genuinely believe that Kubernetes does a good job for what's on the tin (i.e. container orchestration at scale), but there's an evolution that needs to happen. If you'll ente

The #1 problem with Kubernetes is it's not something that "Just Works." There's a very small subset of engineers who can stand up services on Kubernetes without having it fall over in production – not to mention actually
