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 Warp?

Warp's feed turns to persuasion: two essays on rolling out and self-improving software factories.

Warp sells Warp Factories, a cloud system for running coding agents across the software lifecycle, with the terminal as one entry point. The last shipped feature was October 7's Microsoft Teams and Azure DevOps triggers, which followed factory configuration as code. The two newest entries are essays: one on organizational rollout tactics, one on factories that pick their own next work from bugs and user feedback.

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.

Warp's feed turns to persuasion: two essays on rolling out and self-improving software factories.

◆ Current state

Warp sells Warp Factories, a cloud system for running coding agents across the software lifecycle, with the terminal as one entry point. The last shipped feature was October 7's Microsoft Teams and Azure DevOps triggers, which followed factory configuration as code. The two newest entries are essays: one on organizational rollout tactics, one on factories that pick their own next work from bugs and user feedback.

◆ Where it's heading

Most of the recent window is adoption guidance rather than shipped capability, which shows Warp is spending as much effort selling the factory model as building it. The 'self-improving software' essay sketches the next step, where agents mine feedback and refine their own skills, but nothing in the entries ships it yet. Distribution into enterprise tools remains the last concrete move.

◆ Prediction

Expect more trigger surfaces and enterprise packaging; whether the self-improving loop described in the essay becomes a product feature is not yet visible in the entries.
