What is Rivet?
Rivet's Rust SDK for Actors is generally available.
Rivet has spent two months building infrastructure for long-lived actors and AI agents: BYOC, OpenTelemetry tracing, actor-scoped JWTs and agentOS Hosted VMs. The 3.0 Preview made Rivet a single stateless binary on S3. The Rust SDK for Rivet Actors is now generally available, with SQLite, WebSockets, cron and OpenTelemetry built in.
What is Z-Wave JS UI?
Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.
Rivet vs Z-Wave JS UI: editorial side-by-side
Rivet
6.3DEVOPS
Rivet's Rust SDK for Actors is generally available.
◆ Current state
Rivet has spent two months building infrastructure for long-lived actors and AI agents: BYOC, OpenTelemetry tracing, actor-scoped JWTs and agentOS Hosted VMs. The 3.0 Preview made Rivet a single stateless binary on S3. The Rust SDK for Rivet Actors is now generally available, with SQLite, WebSockets, cron and OpenTelemetry built in.
◆ Where it's heading
Rivet is widening who can build on its actor model while 3.0 matures: a Rust SDK GA lets performance-sensitive teams use it without a TypeScript layer. The platform direction remains S3-only infrastructure for stateful workloads.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.0 to move toward a stable release and more SDK languages. The entries don't show a 3.0 GA date.
Z-Wave JS UI
5.0DEVOPS
Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.
◆ Current state
Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases follow upstream zwave-js versions, with occasional UI feature releases like 11.25.0 in between. Device support changes arrive through the driver rather than the UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
