New blog post dropped: why Traefik was the slowest part of our stack & how we rewrote it from scratch in Rust 🦀 My 2025 H2 goal is to get really good at technical writing – this is the first of many posts to come I loved writing every word of this, I hope you enjoy it too ⬇️
Rivet@rivet.gg · last yr.We are achieving 2,000x faster route propagation by rewriting Traefik in Rust. Built for our open-source serverless platform: - Lazy route resolution - Request buffering for cold starts - Infinite scaling - Single stateless Rust binary Technical deep dive: rivet.gg/blog/2025-06...
Announcing: 🎨 Rivet Studio v1.0 A powerful development environment for @rivet.gg Actors & Cloudflare Durable Objects for realtime apps. 🧠 View/edit actor state 📞 Test RPCs like Postman 🔍 Explore live connections 🔥 Hot reload everything → studio.rivet.gg youtube.com/shorts/LXUNq...

"The only people I know actually getting Durable Objects working are Cloudflare employees" - @t3.gg on stream If you're curious about Durable Objects but not the complexity: ActorCore.org has been my obsession for the past month to make DO as simple as possible Example code & GitHub below ⬇️
New in ActorCore v0.7.4: Rust client support 🦀 $ cargo add actor-core-client It's: ✅ stupid fast ✅ runs anywhere ✅ ready to ship Check out the docs & repo 🧵
🤌 i talked to sooo many devs to refine ActorCore v0.7's new api. the same code in Durable Objects is now 4x longer ✅ pure functions, no more `extends Actor` ✅ split actors x-file ✅ short & fun to write try this thing and tell me it's not the best way to write realtime apps
🔶 ActorCore 0.6.0 just shipped with a super slick create-actor cli and overhauled docs create your first stateful, scalable, realtime actor with: $ npx create-actor@latest
oh dang, some rando posted our blog to HN and it’s climbing. give it a read + an upvote! news.ycombinator.com
ActorCore is on a mission to be the best framework for YOLO coding collaborative & stateful apps. we just added: 📄 prompts.txt 💻 Cursor, Windsurf, & Claude Code integrations 💚 @mintlify.bsky.social hooked us up with auto llms.txt link below 🧵
ActorCore v0.5.0 + @hono.dev 🔥 by far our most requested feature: ActorCore now exposes `createRouter` to let you quickly include ActorCore in existing projects plus: exposed driver API, new topology, and loads of new docs. github & changelog below 🧵
Two days with @anthropic.com Claude Code (vs Aider & Cursor) – currently my favorite copilot. + Smart search/replace w/o explicit files + Smart auto-architect/ask switching - No auto-lint/test - No explicit fs scope (aka /add) - No web crawling - Buggy 1.0 UI - No vim bindings
actorcore.org just passed 300 stars ✨ what do you want to see us ship next? what features do think Durable Objects should include by default? github.com/rivet-gg/act...
🍕 SQLite-on-the-server isn't just for hobby projects - it's actually better at hyperscale than microscale With @cloudflare.social Durable Objects & @tur.so, SQLite-per-partition is the future of distributed databases at scale rivet.gg/blog/2025-02...
SQLite-on-the-Server Is Misunderstood: Better At Hyper-Scale Than Micro-Scale
We're Rivet, a new open-source, self-hostable serverless platform. We've been in the weeds with SQLite-on-the-server recently and – boy – do we have a lot of thoughts to share. Give us a star on GitHu...

👾 ActorCore v0.4.0 brings the scalability & flexibility of Durable Objects/PartyKit to @bunjavascript using P2P gaming techniques this was wicked fun to build, so here's a quick breakdown diagram – link.excalidraw.com/readonly/0gq... source – github.com/rivet-gg/act...
🍔 just released: ActorCore for @bun.sh build scalable collaborative apps, realtime backends, and ai agents easily and holy moly Bun runs ~2x faster than Node.js (benchmarks below ⬇️)
just released ActorCore 0.2.0 for @cloudflare.social and @rivet.gg we added RPC-over-HTTP and events-over-SSE as an alternative to WebSockets this is going to enable some really interesting capabilities, check back in a couple days to see why 🫢 youtube.com/shorts/t6yMl...

⚡ i just dropped ActorCore v0.1.0 on NPM @cloudflare.social durable objects will be the new cloud primitive in 2025, but they're vendor-locked to Workers ActorCore lets you deploy actors to any serverless cloud includes features like rpc, events, scheduling, & multiplayer youtu.be/uatOSpXme4k

rivet is to the point where it's so fun to hack with, it's getting distracting 😶 i whipped up an ai agent from scratch in a few minutes with @vercel.com ai sdk – persistence & real-time just work with rivet actors + state
