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 Lovable?

Lovable is making generated apps connector-rich and enterprise-shippable at the same time.

Two tracks run in parallel. Generated apps keep gaining third-party reach — payments, file generation and data analysis, and a connector catalogue spanning Twitch, Twilio, Linear, Telegram, Contentful, Calendly, ElevenLabs, Perplexity and Firecrawl, with voice interfaces built on top of the last of those. The second track is governance: a workspace usage dashboard, audit logs filterable by restricted project, Okta SSO and SCIM from the Okta catalogue, external-collaborator restrictions that do not require enforcing SSO on everyone, and Aikido penetration testing on every plan.

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.

0.0

Lovable is making generated apps connector-rich and enterprise-shippable at the same time.

◆ Current state

Two tracks run in parallel. Generated apps keep gaining third-party reach — payments, file generation and data analysis, and a connector catalogue spanning Twitch, Twilio, Linear, Telegram, Contentful, Calendly, ElevenLabs, Perplexity and Firecrawl, with voice interfaces built on top of the last of those. The second track is governance: a workspace usage dashboard, audit logs filterable by restricted project, Okta SSO and SCIM from the Okta catalogue, external-collaborator restrictions that do not require enforcing SSO on everyone, and Aikido penetration testing on every plan.

◆ Where it's heading

Lovable is answering the standing objection to AI app builders — that the output is a prototype — from both ends: giving apps real integrations so they do useful work, and giving the workspaces holding them the controls a security review asks for. Pricing rests on credits rather than seats, and recent work folds every credit type into one balance and makes usage answerable in chat. A runtime panel exposing each AI call an app makes, and TanStack Start as the default framework for Enterprise apps, point the same direction: this output is being treated as production software.

◆ Prediction

Expect the connector catalogue to keep widening and the enterprise controls to reach deployment itself — approval gates or environment separation are the obvious gaps now that audit logs, SSO and provisioning are in place.
