SQLite is still in the works, but we've built an open-source alternative to DO over at rivet.dev

Built to be as easy as possible to host on-prem. Supports both dedi hardware & serverless.

Happy to answer any questions!
Rivet - Build and scale stateful workloads
Rivet is a library for long-lived processes with durable state, realtime, and scalability. Easily self-hostable and works with your infrastructure.

Yep! Effect clusters & workflows are in alpha. There's some overlap, everything looks like an actor if you squint hard enough haha.

One of these weekends I'll roll a deeper Effect integration, but I haven't figured out how to correctly handle restoring Effects for durability.

Aye – our chat example should look pretty similar to what you're looking for! github.com/rivet-dev/ri...

We've been building an OSS actor system for the JS ecosystem over at rivet.dev too with a lot of parallels to Durable Objects – always open to feedback!

We're building an open-source alternative to Durable Objects that runs in most clouds. We don't support Deno Deploy yet, but it could happen.

Durable Objects SQLite is also quite nice!

Oh no hahaha, that's what I get for copying grammar proofs out of Claude

I promise this post is 100% non-AGI hand-written otherwise 😅
