Backenly vs Rivet.dev

Your coding agent uses MCP tools to create tables, enable auth, write row-level security policies, connect integrations and turn on realtime — all against a live database rather than generated boilerplate.

Backenly registers guarantees about your backend, checks them every minute, detects breakage, proposes repairs, applies the safe ones and then verifies the fix by re-running the original check.

Additive fixes are applied and snapshotted automatically; auth changes, destructive statements and irreversible operations always pause for a human decision.

Each project lives in its own PostgreSQL schema with direct connection strings, pgvector, REST APIs served by PostgREST and pg_dump exports.

Every Actor gets a SQLite database and a filesystem, so an agent's memory and progress survive restarts and idle periods without a separate database.

Run untrusted or AI-generated code on your own infrastructure with fine-grained control over network access, filesystem permissions, and resource limits.

A node failure reschedules its Actors elsewhere with state intact, and multi-step work replays after a crash — with no checkpointing harness to build yourself.

Address an Actor directly over HTTP or hold a live WebSocket, and use the React SDK to subscribe components to an Actor's state in real time.
