Authelia vs Hatchet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Authelia and Hatchet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Authelia vs Hatchet: at a glance
What is Authelia?
Authelia's 4.39.x series is a continuous patch stream: five releases in nine days, no new features
Authelia is in a sustained maintenance phase on the 4.39.x branch. The project has shipped at least five releases since September 8 — all bug-fix patches targeting OIDC conformance, web UI edge cases, SMTP IPv6, Envoy authz path handling, and storage correctness. The release cadence is high but the content is narrow: there is no visible feature investment in the recent window.
What is Hatchet?
Hatchet 0.114.2 adds flow-control levers and FIPS images, then spends a day fixing durable stalls.
Hatchet is a task orchestration engine with durable execution, DAGs, and flow control, shipped with Python, Ruby, and Go SDKs. The 0.114.2 minor added pausable rate limits, task-chosen retry timing, FIPS-built server images, and time-partitioned DAG tables. Within hours the team followed with three engine patches and matching SDK releases to stop durable tasks from hanging after a stream reconnect.

Authelia's 4.39.x series is a continuous patch stream: five releases in nine days, no new features
◆ Current state
Authelia is in a sustained maintenance phase on the 4.39.x branch. The project has shipped at least five releases since September 8 — all bug-fix patches targeting OIDC conformance, web UI edge cases, SMTP IPv6, Envoy authz path handling, and storage correctness. The release cadence is high but the content is narrow: there is no visible feature investment in the recent window.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern across these releases is OIDC stabilization — multiple entries address consent handling, resource indicators, and JWT grant correctness. Authelia appears to be closing out conformance gaps accumulated during earlier 4.39.x development rather than adding surface area. The active committer footprint is small (primarily @james-d-elliott), which keeps the pace sustainable but limits breadth.
◆ Prediction
Given the absence of feature releases since well before May 2026, a 4.40.x or 5.0 branch with new capabilities is likely being developed in parallel. The current stream is support-mode maintenance.
Hatchet
5.0INFRA · APIS
Hatchet 0.114.2 adds flow-control levers and FIPS images, then spends a day fixing durable stalls.
◆ Current state
Hatchet is a task orchestration engine with durable execution, DAGs, and flow control, shipped with Python, Ruby, and Go SDKs. The 0.114.2 minor added pausable rate limits, task-chosen retry timing, FIPS-built server images, and time-partitioned DAG tables. Within hours the team followed with three engine patches and matching SDK releases to stop durable tasks from hanging after a stream reconnect.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is concentrated on making long-running durable execution reliable at scale: partitioning hot tables, trimming OLAP jobs, and tightening worker acknowledgements. Flow control is getting finer-grained, with rate limits and retries now steerable from inside a task rather than only from config. FIPS images point at regulated, self-hosted buyers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 0.114.x patches around durable streams and worker acks while the reconnect fix settles. Rate-limit pause has reached Ruby so far; the other SDKs are likely next.
