`Rivet Actors`: open-source Durable Objects alternative with `Rust`, `FoundationDB`, and isolates
50radar
Rivet ActorsActor runtime — self-hosted Durable Objects alternative
A self-hosted actor runtime with RPC, state, and events built in, without a Kubernetes-style orchestrator. Worth a look if Durable Objects felt too rigid for realtime backends.
- Runs on
Rust,V8 isolates, andFoundationDB, withDenosupport soNPMandJSRpackages work out of the box. - Avoids a traditional
Kubernetes/Nomadruntime and uses an in-house actor-like workflow engine for upgrades, retries, and draining. - Supports both isolates and Docker-compatible containers, so the same platform can host app logic, game servers, or media workloads.
- Built-in observability, vanilla HTTP APIs, region control, plus TCP/UDP support make it broader than the usual edge-actor model.
