Hey Nathan! I remember Rivet from Playflow, back when you guys did game server orchestration. Great to see you guys grow!

Have you had agents like claude code , codex etc all fully running in agent-os? Trying to understand the use case a bit better here. For context, I've recently built our own pipeline which spins up ephemeral linux vms for claude code, codex, etc which do their work & the state always persists but frees up resources when finished. Is the idea pretty much similar for agent-os here?

Also with the s3 backing changes, it reminds me a lot of the work done on celld, good to see more self-hostable durable objects out there.

Been a minute since the gaming days, thanks for reaching out!

We have gotten them all working inside of agentOS. However, we found it's a better architecture to run the agent loop outside of agentOS and expose it as tools. The trust boundary & blast radius of running the agent inside the sandbox makes it difficult.

Also, the memory overhead of running individual Claude Code instances is nuts, it's better to run the agents in a single process using tools.

I wrote a bit more on it here: https://rivet.dev/blog/2026-07-27-run-your-harness-outside-t...

Appreciate it!

Rivet has a much different architecture than most S3-backed databases. Having an object-per-actor doesn't scale well with cost and performance, so we built a SSD tiered storage engine instead: https://rivet.dev/changelog/2026-10-26-introducing-rivet-3-0...
