Hatchet is an open-source (MIT) orchestration engine for background tasks, AI agents, and durable workflows, available as a cloud service or self-hosted. It provides queuing, automatic retries, durable execution, DAGs, concurrency and rate limiting, plus real-time monitoring, alerting, and logging, with SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Ruby.

Use cases

• run background jobs with automatic retries
• orchestrate AI agent workflows durably
• schedule cron and event-triggered tasks
• build DAG pipelines with dependencies
• replace Celery or Temporal for task orchestration
• self-host a task queue with monitoring and replay
• rate-limit and control concurrency of task execution

When to choose

• you need durable, replayable workflows with retries and observability
• you want one platform for background tasks, cron, events, and AI agents
• you need SDKs across Python, TypeScript, Go, or Ruby
• you want a self-hostable MIT-licensed alternative to Temporal or Celery

When to avoid

• you only need simple in-process async scheduling without persistence
• you cannot run Postgres-backed infrastructure or prefer a lightweight queue
• your workflows are purely static data pipelines better served by Airflow-style tools
