Alchemy adds Rivet, Effect Cluster and 8 sandbox platforms with swap-one-layer portability
samgoodwin89 · x · 2026-11-15
Alchemy released 2.0.0-beta.87, a big step toward supporting all Actor frameworks and Sandbox platforms.
- New support for Rivet and Effect Cluster as actor runtimes, plus Archil, Boat, Daytona, E2B, Modal and AWS Nitro Sandboxes on ECS — all in Alchemy Domain.
- The pitch is portability: build actor services with Rivet or Effect Cluster, deploy to any cloud, and move your Domain Models off Cloudflare by swapping a single layer.
- The author shows the actual diff: the same domain model runs on Cloudflare Durable Objects via Layer.provide(DomainCloudflare.layerDurableObjects()); moving to Rivet only swaps in DomainRivet.layerDurableObjects({name, main, pool}), leaving business code untouched.
