New blog post dropped: why Traefik was the slowest part of our stack & how we rewrote it from scratch in Rust ๐Ÿฆ€ My 2025 H2 goal is to get really good at technical writing โ€“ this is the first of many posts to come I loved writing every word of this, I hope you enjoy it too โฌ‡๏ธ

Rivet@rivet.gg

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...

"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 โฌ‡๏ธ

๐ŸคŒ i talked to sooo many devs to refine ActorCore v0.7's new api. the same code in Durable Objects is now 4x longer โœ… pure functions, no more `extends Actor` โœ… split actors x-file โœ… short & fun to write try this thing and tell me it's not the best way to write realtime apps

ActorCore v0.5.0 + @hono.dev ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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 ๐Ÿงต

Two days with @anthropic.com Claude Code (vs Aider & Cursor) โ€“ 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

Rivet Actors are an open-source Durable Object alterntaive, so why'd we build this? ActorCore helps both Rivet & Cloudflare alike many companies want to use Durable Objects, but won't because it's a vendor-locked product more options = more users

rivet is to the point where it's so fun to hack with, it's getting distracting ๐Ÿ˜ถ i whipped up an ai agent from scratch in a few minutes with @vercel.com ai sdk โ€“ persistence & real-time just work with rivet actors + state

Rivet@rivet.gg

Build Agents on open-source, stateful, serverless infra Rivet provides the platform that handles memory, scaling, and workload distribution on the edge โ€” so you can focus on your agent application or AI framework, not the infrastructure. Agent demo built on the @vercel.com AI SDK buff.ly/40DrvUu
