rivet
ðĐ The open-source alternative to Durable Objects. Rivet Actors provide long-lived processes with durable state, realtime, and scalability. (by rivet-gg)
Our self-hosting docs are very rough right now â I'm fully aware of the irony given my comment. It's on our roadmap to get them up to snuff within the next few weeks.
If you're curious on the details, we've put a lot of work to make sure that there's as few moving parts as possible:
We have our own cloud VM-level autoscaler that's integrated with the core Rivet platofrm â no k8s or other orchestrators in between. You can see the meat of it here: https://github.com/rivet-gg/rivet/blob/main/packages/core/se...
For example, Rivet has an API to dynamically spin up a cluster on demand: https://github.com/rivet-gg/rivet/blob/335088d0e7b38be5d029d...
Once you start the Rivet "seed" process with your API key, everything from there is automatic.
Therefore, self-hosted deployments usually look like one of:
- Plugging in your cloud API token in to Rivet for autoscaling (recommended)
- Fixed # of servers (hobbyist deployments that were manually set up, simple Terraform deployments, or bare metal)
- Running within Kubernetes (usually because it depends on existing services)
