Deploy the backends your agents build.
One process to install, monitor, and upgrade, on Kubernetes with the Enterprise Helm chart or as a systemd unit.
With BYOC, Rivet deploys and maintains the control plane inside your cloud over an outbound connection.
Use Postgres or FoundationDB for persistence and tiered storage to S3.
Use the same binary, APIs, and control-plane behavior from laptop to production.
In your VPC, on-prem, air-gapped, or embedded.

Inspect every part of Rivet in the dashboard, or bring the same live context into your AI client with Rivet MCP.
Inspect Actor state and SQLite data, agentOS sessions, workflow runs, and Dynamic App releases in one place.
Let Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other AI clients find Actors, call actions, and open the Inspector inline.

Install Actors and run it locally while you build. When you ship, run the same open-source control plane as a Rust binary or container on your own infrastructure.
Deploy Actors on Rivet Cloud with managed infrastructure and persisted Actor data.
Open the dashboardRun the control plane inside your own VPC, fully managed by Rivet. Your data never leaves your cloud and there is no inbound management connection.
Read the BYOC docsBuild with agents, build for agents, and run it where your data lives.
