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 Resend?

Resend now auto-revokes its API keys found leaked in public Docker images and datasets.

Resend ships API surface almost weekly and lets platforms such as v0, Stripe Projects and Laravel Cloud provision it inside their own setup flows. Its MCP server became discoverable from a single URL on October 26. On November 4 it joined TruffleHog's revocation program, so live Resend keys found in Docker images, Hugging Face datasets and other public sources are revoked automatically.

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.

Resend
INFRA · APIS
5.0

Resend now auto-revokes its API keys found leaked in public Docker images and datasets.

◆ Current state

Resend ships API surface almost weekly and lets platforms such as v0, Stripe Projects and Laravel Cloud provision it inside their own setup flows. Its MCP server became discoverable from a single URL on October 26. On November 4 it joined TruffleHog's revocation program, so live Resend keys found in Docker images, Hugging Face datasets and other public sources are revoked automatically.

◆ Where it's heading

As more keys are created by platforms and agents rather than by hand, Resend is adding controls around them: usage limits readable by API, and now automatic revocation of leaked keys. The pattern is distribution first, then safeguards for the keys that distribution creates.

◆ Prediction

Expect more provisioning integrations and key or usage controls aimed at platforms; the entries do not indicate a pricing change.
