Hatchet is an open-source durable workflow engine and task orchestration platform. It provides a framework for building and executing fault-tolerant, multi-step pipelines as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), with automatic retries, scheduling, and real-time observability. The system is built around durable task checkpointing, which persists execution state after each step so work can resume from the last checkpoint after a worker crash or restart, and it supports event-driven task resumption that pauses a task until a matching external event arrives. The platform distinguishes itself through it
Framework for performing work asynchronously, outside of the request flow
