This looks really nice! How would you compare it to Rivet? I think they were also originally pitched as an open source version of durable objects: https://rivet.dev/actors/compare/rivet-actors-vs-cloudflare-...
Also are you able to self-host this outside of GCP (from the docs it seems like it is locked to GCP but I'm not that familiar with it so maybe not)?
Hey! Yea we are a very different API from them. Closer to Cloudflare for sure.
Our biggest differentiator is the configurable compute. With our helm chart, you just add a decorator and can specify how much RAM, CPU etc... an actor class has.
We are pretty opinionated on how to host these. The helm chart gets you a fully horizontally scalable deployment.
