Agentic Index
Dbos vs Hatchet Run (2026)
Both score 9 of 14, both are open source, and both make agent workflows survive failure using Postgres, which makes this a genuine like for like.
DBOS is a durable execution library: a few code annotations make workflows, queues and agents fault tolerant and observable, managed through the Conductor console. Hatchet is a durable orchestration engine with automatic retries, checkpointing and observability, MIT licensed to self host or available as managed cloud. Library inside your application against engine your application talks to, which is an architecture preference more than a capability gap.
Choose Dbos if
- You want durability as a library annotation rather than an engine to operate.
- Keeping the execution model inside your own process is the architecture you prefer.
- The Conductor console gives you workflow operations without standing up more infrastructure.
Choose Hatchet Run if
- You want an orchestration engine as a separate component with its own scaling story.
- MIT licensing with a managed cloud option gives you a migration path either direction.
- Checkpointing on long running agent tasks is the specific property you need.
