Recommended actor versioning pattern

What is the recommended pattern for handling actor's code and state mismatch after releasing a new version of my app (the new code produces different state)? If I understand correctly the state is always persisted, but the code that interacts with the state can change when actor upgrades it's version. Is doing a state migration onWake the correct solution here? For my usecase I don't really need actor's state - I could just use vars, because the data will be persisted into a separate database. Doing this would keep the "state"<->code in sync after a release, but it looks like a total antipattern. I'm totally new to actors and DOs, so I'm sorry if I'm missing something totally obvious. I need some guidance on this issue 馃檹...

Actor not found

We're using Rivet deployed on Cloudflare Workers and at around 15:40 UTC today (2025-11-20) we started getting "Actor not found" for 25% of our calls when calling our actors via getForId. The issue seems to have resolve itself after a new workers deploy 5 hours later; wondering if y'all have encountered this before? I'm assuming it's some transient Durable Objects issue.

Rivet slower than vanilla durable objects

I'm testing moving my current workload from vanilla durable objects to rivet + durable objects. I am seeing an extra 500-1000ms second of startup latency. Is that surprising to you? Am I doing something wrong?
