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 ScreenshotOne?

ScreenshotOne grinds out reliability and quietly tailors output for AI workflows

ScreenshotOne ships a steady stream of small, focused improvements to its rendering API — cache reliability, full-page stitching fixes, banner blocking, and admin and notification conveniences. The one strategic thread is tooling aimed at AI analysis, like splitting full-page captures into slices.

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.

ScreenshotOne grinds out reliability and quietly tailors output for AI workflows

◆ Current state

ScreenshotOne ships a steady stream of small, focused improvements to its rendering API — cache reliability, full-page stitching fixes, banner blocking, and admin and notification conveniences. The one strategic thread is tooling aimed at AI analysis, like splitting full-page captures into slices.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is maturing as dependable infrastructure rather than chasing big features, with incremental quality and rendering-fidelity work dominating. A light but recurring nod to AI use cases — slicing for analysis, agent integrations — hints at where new demand is coming from.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued reliability and rendering-fidelity fixes plus more features framed around feeding screenshots into AI pipelines; nothing in the recent cadence suggests a larger directional change.
