Rivet launches open-source actor orchestrator for agentic workloads
Overview
Rivet, a Y Combinator W23 startup, launches an open-source orchestrator for agentic workloads built on the actor model.
The company says each Rivet Actor uses 72 KB of RAM and cold-starts in 4.99 ms at p99, compared with 512 MiB and 1.70 s for a sandbox. It also says its SQLite storage on S3 is 10.4 times cheaper than replicated SSDs.
Rivet says idle Actors cost nothing and wake on the next request with nothing lost. A Dynamic Apps feature, in preview, deploys a backend per user as soon as it is generated.
