Forgejo vs Hatchet: at a glance
What is Forgejo?
Forgejo keeps patching its v15 stable line, now at v15.0.11.
Forgejo's newest tracked release is v15.0.11, two weeks after v15.0.10. Before that the feed jumped from v11.0.16 in July, with no v12–v14 releases in between. Release entries only link to external notes, so the specific changes in each patch aren't visible here.
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.

Forgejo
5.0INFRA · APIS
Forgejo keeps patching its v15 stable line, now at v15.0.11.
◆ Current state
Forgejo's newest tracked release is v15.0.11, two weeks after v15.0.10. Before that the feed jumped from v11.0.16 in July, with no v12–v14 releases in between. Release entries only link to external notes, so the specific changes in each patch aren't visible here.
◆ Where it's heading
The point-release rhythm continues: v11.0.x shipped roughly monthly from January to July, and v15 is now on its eleventh patch at a similar pace. Jumping four major versions in three months suggests majors are cut often and each branch then gets a patch series. Without the release notes, whether those majors bring large feature changes is unclear.
◆ Prediction
The likely next entry is v15.0.12 in two to four weeks. The entries don't show whether the v11 maintenance branch is still receiving fixes.
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.
