Public-facing projects:
- Rivet Engine (you are here): Engine that powers RivetKit at scale
- RivetKit: Lightweight TypeScript library for building Rivet Actors — works with Redis or Rivet Engine
- Rivet Inspector: Like Postman, but for Rivet Actors
- Rivet Hub: UI for Rivet Engine
- Rivet Documentation
Projects powering Rivet Engine:
- Pegboard: Actor orchestrator
- Guard: Proxy for routing traffic to Rivet Actors
- Chirp: Core workflow engine that powers Rivet
Get started with Rivet by following a quickstart guide:
Rivet Actors, a primitive of RivetKit, provide everything you need to build fast, scalable, and real-time applications without the complexity. Rivet Engine is the core of self-hosting and is used for orchestrating actors at scale.
- Long-Lived, Stateful Compute: Like AWS Lambda but with memory and no timeouts
- Blazing-Fast Reads & Writes: State stored on same machine as compute
- Realtime, Made Simple: Built-in WebSockets and SSE support
- Store Data Near Your Users: Deploy to the edge for low-latency access
- Infinitely Scalable: Auto-scale from zero to millions without configuration
- Fault Tolerant: Automatic error handling and recovery built-in
The Rivet Engine supports:
- PostgreSQL: For production deployments
- FoundationDB: For enterprise-scale distributed systems
- Filesystem: For single-node deployments
