Oct 1, 2025Month 2025-10 Summary for rivet-gg/rivet: Key features delivered and enhancements: - Core health and routing enhancements: Exposed runtime in the core health endpoint to improve diagnostics and added routing of actor requests to regions with runners, enabling smarter workload distribution and faster MTTR for regional issues. - API tooling and run configuration: Added API helper scripts and scripts for run configuration to streamline development, debugging, and CI automation. - Serverless and pegboard health improvements: Introduced a serverless runner health check endpoint and allowed unknown fields in metadata responses for serverless health checks to improve resilience and observability in serverless contexts. - Configuration and datacenter improvements: Moved datacenter parameter to the request body for actor creation and expanded the datacenters schema to future-proof deployments; renamed api_peer_url -> peer_url for consistency across environments. - Frontend stability and environment readiness: Applied a cloud frontend hotfix to address critical runtime issues in the cloud environment. Major bugs fixed: - Core: Fixed x-region namespace query and underflow bug with desired slot count, reducing edge-case failures under load. - Runner: Fixed ACK events message handling and improved logging around unacked messages to improve observability and reliability. - Site: Resolved 404 errors to improve user experience. - API/Public: Fixed OpenAPI name conflict in runner configs body to prevent API spec clashes. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Achieved measurable improvements in system reliability, diagnostics, and regional workload management, enabling faster issue resolution and more predictable deployments. - Strengthened observability, developer experience, and deployment readiness through tooling, scripts, and improved health checks. - Accelerated release cadence and CI efficiency with automated scripts and batch processing optimizations. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Health endpoints, serverless health checks, and runtime observability. - Region-aware routing, datacenter configuration, and schema evolution. - Logging hardening, ACK handling, and polyfill-related reliability fixes. - Tooling and automation: API helper scripts, run config scripts, and CI optimization. - Release engineering and naming consistency across environments.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 was a period of accelerated platform maturity for rivet-gg/rivet, delivering a robust actor framework, safer deployment practices, and enhanced developer tooling. The work focused on enabling scalable actor workloads, tightening security, and improving operational efficiency across builds, deployments, and runtime. Key features delivered include: the Actors framework enhancements (new @rivet-gg/actors package, service token support for actor endpoints, implicit RPC calls, prepareConnection helper, and a docs restructuring), and Actor Management Enhancements (access controls on the actor manager, path-based routing for actors, and automatic endpoint handling with environment/region auto-detection in the actor SDK). Additional infrastructure and tooling progress encompassed OpenAPI tooling and broader maintenance (monorepo toolchain merge, region metadata, deno passthrough, and manager endpoint), as well as Build and Deployment Process improvements (token-based access to builds API, improved deployment URL handling, and build config simplifications). WebSocket/Protocol enhancements, actor state management/upgrades, and code hygiene/refactors contributed to a more reliable, observable platform. Documentation and site maintenance continued to remove noise and improve developer experience, including logging exposure for actors and a press kit update.
