A durable background task queue and workflow orchestration platform built on Postgres with observability and flow control.
What is hatchet?
Hatchet is a comprehensive platform for running background tasks and durable workflows at scale. It bundles a durable task queue, observability, alerting, a real-time dashboard, and a CLI into a single solution, designed to handle complex task orchestration beyond simple FIFO queues.
Developers and engineering teams building applications that require reliable background job processing, complex workflow orchestration, and enhanced observability beyond basic task queues. This includes those transitioning from libraries like Celery or BullMQ who need more control and durability.
Developers choose Hatchet because it provides a unified, self-hostable platform with built-in durability, observability, and advanced orchestration features like DAGs, flow control, and event triggers, reducing the need to assemble and maintain multiple disparate tools.
