What is Hatchet?

Hatchet takes durable tasks serverless, with handlers for Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node.

Hatchet's new @hatchet-dev/serverless 0.1.0 runs tasks on Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node. An in-engine operator delivers them by signed POST or by an invocation websocket that also carries durable sleeps, waits and child runs. Around it, the engine shipped three patches in a day: DAG replays no longer take an advisory lock, worker shutdown now waits for durable tasks, and status queries use partition pruning. The API now declares 429 with Retry-After on every authenticated call.

What is Redocly?

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

Hatchet takes durable tasks serverless, with handlers for Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node.

◆ Current state

Hatchet's new @hatchet-dev/serverless 0.1.0 runs tasks on Cloudflare Workers, Vercel and Node. An in-engine operator delivers them by signed POST or by an invocation websocket that also carries durable sleeps, waits and child runs. Around it, the engine shipped three patches in a day: DAG replays no longer take an advisory lock, worker shutdown now waits for durable tasks, and status queries use partition pruning. The API now declares 429 with Retry-After on every authenticated call.

◆ Where it's heading

Until now, running Hatchet meant running long-lived workers. The serverless package removes that requirement, so durable execution can run where JavaScript teams already deploy. The engine work points the same way: rate limits declared in the spec, safer worker acks, cheaper status queries. Patch cadence is still very high, often several engine tags a day, and much of it fixes durable-task edge cases.

◆ Prediction

Expect quick 0.1.x serverless releases as early users hit edge cases on each platform, and possibly matching Python handlers. More engine patches on durable-task shutdown and replay are likely.

6.3

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

◆ Current state

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.

◆ Prediction

Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.
