Hatchet vs Scrypted: at a glance
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 Scrypted?
Scrypted maintains a slow maintenance cadence — one release in ten months with minor TypeScript fixes.
Scrypted, a home automation and NVR platform, has shipped one release in the past ten months (v0.145.0, September 2026), following a long gap after v0.143.0 in November 2025. The most recent release contains only TypeScript type-safety refactoring — definite assignment assertions, non-null checks, and undefined handling. Earlier releases added cluster worker address support (v0.135.0) and Amcrest video text overlay support (v0.139.0). The project shows no user-facing feature momentum.

Hatchet
6.3INFRA · APIS
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.
Scrypted
2.5INFRA · APIS
Scrypted maintains a slow maintenance cadence — one release in ten months with minor TypeScript fixes.
◆ Current state
Scrypted, a home automation and NVR platform, has shipped one release in the past ten months (v0.145.0, September 2026), following a long gap after v0.143.0 in November 2025. The most recent release contains only TypeScript type-safety refactoring — definite assignment assertions, non-null checks, and undefined handling. Earlier releases added cluster worker address support (v0.135.0) and Amcrest video text overlay support (v0.139.0). The project shows no user-facing feature momentum.
◆ Where it's heading
Scrypted appears to be in maintenance mode. The gap between releases is growing, and recent changelogs are dominated by internal refactoring rather than user-visible features. The project likely serves a dedicated user base that values stability over velocity. There is no visible signal of architectural change or new capability direction.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction. The project continues stable maintenance; a major version or hardware integration addition would be needed to indicate a direction change. Users on v0.143.0 or earlier have no material reason to upgrade based on the entries shown.
