HN discussionI think it’s socketcluster. However, i’m not quite sure what it does (it obviously does something really well, but I’m probably not precisely the target audience) It might help adoption and re-share value if your readme starts with some problem and shows how your tool solves it. The cadence/temporal people did this really well: https://www.temporal.io/

There was also a talk [1] about using Temporal here. For Hatchet it may be interesting to check it out (note: I am not affiliated with Wasmcloud, nor currently using it).

HN discussionEach task in Hatchet is backed by a workflow [1]. Workflows are predefined steps which are persisted in PostgreSQL. If a worker dies or crashes midway through (stops heartbeating to the engine), we reassign tasks (assuming they have retries left). We also track timeouts in the database, which means if we miss a timeout, we simply retry after some amount of time. Like I mentioned in the post, we avoid some classes of…
