Hatchet vs LibreSpeed: at a glance
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.
What is LibreSpeed?
LibreSpeed finished its design migration and is now hardening what it measures.
LibreSpeed spent late 2025 and early 2026 landing a rewritten frontend that had been in progress for roughly two years, moving it from a feature-switch pre-release to the default in 6.0.0. With that migration behind it, the 6.2.x line has turned to measurement itself and to deployment robustness — a dedicated connection-stability test, installable PWA packaging, and a string of Docker and asset-layout fixes.

Hatchet

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.
LibreSpeed
5.0INFRA · APIS
LibreSpeed finished its design migration and is now hardening what it measures.
◆ Current state
LibreSpeed spent late 2025 and early 2026 landing a rewritten frontend that had been in progress for roughly two years, moving it from a feature-switch pre-release to the default in 6.0.0. With that migration behind it, the 6.2.x line has turned to measurement itself and to deployment robustness — a dedicated connection-stability test, installable PWA packaging, and a string of Docker and asset-layout fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The most interesting shift is scope. LibreSpeed was a one-shot bandwidth benchmark; 6.2.0 added a standalone stability test with live latency charting, packet-loss tracking, and CSV export, which is a different job — watching a connection over time rather than scoring it once. The 6.2.1 follow-up shows the maintainers treating measurement accuracy as the product: upload results were being inflated when a request came back with an HTTP error, and the client now waits for a successful status before starting a replacement. Deployment work runs continuously alongside, mostly making Docker and non-Docker layouts behave identically.
◆ Prediction
The stability test is new enough that its server selection and timeout handling are still being fixed, so expect the next releases to keep refining it rather than opening another surface. Docker and asset-layout parity looks like the other ongoing thread.
