Ship services next to the data they use.
River runs containerized backends — APIs, workers, and scheduled services — on the same machine as your databases. Any language, one private network, one control plane.

The problem
A small service usually drags in a second cloud account, a separate build pipeline, and another set of credentials pointed back at your database.
The River approach
Containers live on the server that already holds your data, reachable over a private network, with restarts and logs handled inside the same workspace as everything else.
