Rivet.dev

Rivet provides an open-source, self-hostable orchestrator designed to run workloads that agents require, including actors, agents, and workflows. It targets developers and teams building agent-driven software that can run on their own infrastructure or in managed environments. The tool emphasizes density, speed, and scalability for orchestrating diverse workloads that agents need to operate effectively.

The platform centers on durable, stateful components. It distinguishes Actors as long-lived processes, Agents as durable per-user workers, and Workflows as multi-step operations that replay. It also introduces agentOS for code execution within a filesystem-like environment and a preview for dynamic apps deployed per user. These components together form a cohesive runtime for agentic tasks.

It highlights open-source availability and self-hosting as core attributes, with a control plane that scales across many Actors and supports multiple workload types.

It emphasizes compatibility with various environments and storage backends, and notes the existence of BYOC (bring-your-own-cloud) and self-hosted configurations.

Use cases

• Run agents, workflows, and sandboxes as durable Actors
• Develop and deploy agent-based apps
