Rivet
The Rivet Driver is a production-ready implementation that uses Rivet’s managed infrastructure for actor state persistence, coordination, and communication. It provides a fully managed environment for ActorCore with built-in scaling, monitoring, and global distribution.
You rarely need to manually configure drivers. The platform package you’re using will configure the appropriate drivers for you. See the documentation for your platform for details.
