What is Hatchet?

Hatchet chases DAG crash loops through three engine patches in a day.

Hatchet added sandboxes, Labs switches and cloud MFA in early November. The week since has been engine reliability: v0.120.3 batches DAG step triggers, v0.120.4 fixes stranded match rows and prunes database partitions before locking, and v0.120.5 removes another cause of DAG crash loops. Python SDK 1.46.0 makes it easier to unit-test tasks and passes failures to cleanup dependencies.

What is Infisical?

Infisical's Agent Vault learns to find services, with database and SSH access built in.

Infisical released v0.167.9 and v0.167.10 on November 13. v0.167.9 is a large release: Agent Vault adds service discovery, service descriptions, a built-in skill, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SSH services, MCP templates for six more providers and services packaged into access bundles. It also publishes KMS public keys as a JWKS, pins outbound connections to validated IPs and applies approval policies to certificate renewals. v0.167.10 lets users request a narrower path inside a glob access policy.

Hatchet chases DAG crash loops through three engine patches in a day.

◆ Current state

Hatchet added sandboxes, Labs switches and cloud MFA in early November. The week since has been engine reliability: v0.120.3 batches DAG step triggers, v0.120.4 fixes stranded match rows and prunes database partitions before locking, and v0.120.5 removes another cause of DAG crash loops. Python SDK 1.46.0 makes it easier to unit-test tasks and passes failures to cleanup dependencies.

◆ Where it's heading

After a burst of features, Hatchet is tuning the engine under load: fewer locks, batched triggers and crash-loop fixes. The SDKs are getting testing and correctness work to match.

◆ Prediction

Expect more v0.120.x patches on DAG handling, then a sandbox package out of release candidate.

5.0

Infisical's Agent Vault learns to find services, with database and SSH access built in.

◆ Current state

Infisical released v0.167.9 and v0.167.10 on November 13. v0.167.9 is a large release: Agent Vault adds service discovery, service descriptions, a built-in skill, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SSH services, MCP templates for six more providers and services packaged into access bundles. It also publishes KMS public keys as a JWKS, pins outbound connections to validated IPs and applies approval policies to certificate renewals. v0.167.10 lets users request a narrower path inside a glob access policy.

◆ Where it's heading

Agent Vault, Infisical's credential broker for AI agents, gets new capability in nearly every release, moving from proxy tokens and MCP allowlists toward a catalog of services agents can discover and reach. Alongside it, the PKI, KMS and access-request features keep filling enterprise gaps. Releases come every two to four days.

◆ Prediction

Expect more Agent Vault service types and MCP templates, and access bundles to become the main way Agent Vault permissions are granted.
