Hatchet

Orchestration engine for background tasks, durable workflows and AI agents, self-hostable with Docker or Helm and also offered as Hatchet Cloud.

Hatchet is an orchestration engine for background tasks, durable workflows and AI agents, as its documentation describes. It supports applications written in Python, TypeScript, Go and Ruby, and the self-hosted control plane has an API server with REST endpoints, an engine with a gRPC API, a PostgreSQL database and a dashboard. RabbitMQ is an optional message queue for the same control plane. Workers connect to the control plane to execute tasks, and each tenant has user roles.

The self-hosting guide lists the routes: a single hatchet-lite image, Docker Compose for production, a Helm chart on Kubernetes, and the Hatchet CLI for a local instance, which wraps hatchet-lite.

Worth knowing

Hatchet Cloud is the same platform run by the vendor. Single sign-on through SAML is listed on the Custom plan of the pricing page.
