Gogs vs Hatchet: at a glance
What is Gogs?
Gogs inches toward v0.14.x with release candidates while CI builds clutter the release feed
Gogs is working toward v0.14.x with two release candidates across a seven-month window, but the release feed also shows automated CI artifacts (a rolling 'latest commit build' and an 'archive testing' release) that are not user-facing releases. The actual development pace is low — no GA release is visible in the recent catalog, and the project has been in this slow-release pattern for some time.
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.

Gogs inches toward v0.14.x with release candidates while CI builds clutter the release feed
◆ Current state
Gogs is working toward v0.14.x with two release candidates across a seven-month window, but the release feed also shows automated CI artifacts (a rolling 'latest commit build' and an 'archive testing' release) that are not user-facing releases. The actual development pace is low — no GA release is visible in the recent catalog, and the project has been in this slow-release pattern for some time.
◆ Where it's heading
Gogs was the original self-hosted Go-based Git service but was effectively superseded by its own fork Gitea, and subsequently by Forgejo. The current entry history shows no signs of competitive feature development — just incremental maintenance work working toward a patch release. Without a major contributor push or architectural investment, the project appears to be in maintenance-only mode.
◆ Prediction
A v0.14.3 GA may follow the current RC, but the cadence suggests no acceleration. Users on Gogs likely face continued pressure to migrate to Forgejo or Gitea for active feature development.
Hatchet
6.3INFRA · APIS
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.
