What's the Next.js support?
What's the Next.js support? https://github.com/rivet-gg/rivetkit/issues/
I would like to use persistent storage and real-time capabilities, but I couldn't find any information on how to run actors inside Next.js.
It appears that I will need to create a separate server and share the business logic.

We haven't published docs on this yet, but it is supported. Specifically – Next.js doesn't support WebSockets, but we do support SSE transport.
You can mount RivetKit under the api folder
Most people use Socket.io (their custom implementation) or Pusher-compatible alternatives (Soketi, Sockudo, etc.).
I do too, for most implementations, but I'm facing a new challenge while building a Sync Engine to use within PayloadCMS, and I've found RivetKit to be a great choice as an internal library to persist active query subscriptions, and leveraging real-time capabilities out of the box.
Currently, I have it implemented with Redis (to persist the subscriptions) and Sockudo (for the real-time part).
Glad to hear, that's the goal! Aside from mounting in
api – is there anything with Rivet that's a rough experience/causing issues with your setup? We're still trying to round out as many edges as possible.I managed to get it working.
This is the repo: https://github.com/carlosbensant/payload-sync
Since we have
reactive queries (like Convex), Rivet essentially helps next.js to persist active query subscriptions after a server restart.GitHub

sweet!
doesn't seem like the rivet part is merged yet?
It is: https://github.com/carlosbensant/payload-sync/blob/main/src/plugins/payload-sync/src/actors/subscriptions.ts
- I need to create the Payload-Sync package.
- Make some adjustments related to SSE and optimistic updates
