Greenbone Vulnerability Manager vs Hatchet: at a glance
What is Greenbone Vulnerability Manager?
Greenbone GVM adds web application VT scanning and async report export scheduling
Greenbone Vulnerability Manager (gvmd) has shipped four feature releases in roughly six weeks, centering on two themes: web application vulnerability scanning (ZAP VTs loaded into the database as a new 'Web Application VT' subtype) and report export infrastructure (async scheduling, polling, GMP command support). The integration of OWASP ZAP vulnerability tests into GVM's VT database is the most directional change — it extends GVM's scanning coverage beyond network and host vulnerabilities into web application-layer findings.
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.

Greenbone GVM adds web application VT scanning and async report export scheduling
◆ Current state
Greenbone Vulnerability Manager (gvmd) has shipped four feature releases in roughly six weeks, centering on two themes: web application vulnerability scanning (ZAP VTs loaded into the database as a new 'Web Application VT' subtype) and report export infrastructure (async scheduling, polling, GMP command support). The integration of OWASP ZAP vulnerability tests into GVM's VT database is the most directional change — it extends GVM's scanning coverage beyond network and host vulnerabilities into web application-layer findings.
◆ Where it's heading
GVM is building toward a more comprehensive vulnerability management platform that covers web applications alongside traditional network targets. The ZAP VT integration (v26.35.0) and the dedicated web_application_vt GMP subtype suggest this is a strategic integration rather than a one-off import. Report export scheduling (v26.37.0–26.38.0) addresses a real operational need for teams that need to push findings to external systems on a schedule rather than on-demand. Agent application severities and OCI image target improvements show the platform expanding into container and agentic workload scanning.
◆ Prediction
The ZAP VT subtype will gain dedicated reporting and filtering capabilities in the next few releases, since the data model is now in place but the UI and workflow support will need to catch up. OCI image scanning is likely to get more depth given the ongoing container target improvements.
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.
