Hatchet (hatchet)

Hatchet is an open-source distributed task queue and workflow orchestration engine for background jobs, AI agents, and durable workflows. It is Postgres-backed, MIT-licensed, and ships with first-class SDKs for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Ruby plus a managed offering (Hatchet Cloud) and a self-hostable engine (Docker Compose, Hatchet Lite, Helm chart). The platform separates the orchestration engine from worker execution so workers can run on the operator's own infrastructure (Kubernetes, ECS, Render, Railway, Porter, or any container platform).

Hatchet API

The Hatchet REST API is the control plane for the Hatchet engine. It exposes operations for tasks, workflow runs, durable tasks, events, filters (CEL-based event routing), webhooks/webhook workers, tenants, users, workers, scheduled and cron workflows, alerting, rate limits, API tokens, observability (logs, traces, metrics), feature flags, and engine metadata. The contract is OpenAPI 3.1 and ships in-tree at hatchet-dev/hatchet under api-contracts/openapi. Stable endpoints are namespaced under /api/v1/stable; legacy endpoints remain under /api/v1. Authentication is bearer token or session cookie.
