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 Testomat.io?
Testomat is pushing test management out of its web app and into the browser under test
Testomat is a test management platform that ships large themed digests every one to two months, each bundling half a dozen features. The last year has been steady accumulation: milestones, a public API v2, an MCP server, defect boards wired to bug trackers, scheduled runs, tree views for plans and runs, and a run of AI helpers for test data, review and analytics. The latest digest is the broadest yet, adding dictation, a browser extension, manual-to-automated progress analytics and an AI-generated project restructure proposal.

Hatchet

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.

Testomat is pushing test management out of its web app and into the browser under test
◆ Current state
Testomat is a test management platform that ships large themed digests every one to two months, each bundling half a dozen features. The last year has been steady accumulation: milestones, a public API v2, an MCP server, defect boards wired to bug trackers, scheduled runs, tree views for plans and runs, and a run of AI helpers for test data, review and analytics. The latest digest is the broadest yet, adding dictation, a browser extension, manual-to-automated progress analytics and an AI-generated project restructure proposal.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads dominate. AI keeps being applied to authoring and organisation rather than execution — polishing dictated steps, suggesting test data, proposing a folder structure as a mind map the team must approve rather than an automatic migration. Alongside that, Testomat is moving the manual tester's workspace closer to the application: a side panel that runs tests, records browser actions as reusable steps and attaches console logs and network activity without switching back to the web app. Both threads reduce the typing between having a test in mind and having it recorded.
◆ Prediction
The extension's action recording is the piece most likely to grow next — converting recorded steps into automated tests would close the manual-to-automated loop the new analytics widget currently only measures.
