Cloudflare Tunnel vs Hatchet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Cloudflare Tunnel and Hatchet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Cloudflare Tunnel vs Hatchet: at a glance
What is Cloudflare Tunnel?
Cloudflare Tunnel opens November with 2026.11.0, published without notes.
cloudflared shipped eight releases in October and opened November with 2026.11.0 on November 12. As with every release since September, the public notes give nothing beyond checksums, and this one has no body at all.
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.
Cloudflare Tunnel vs Hatchet: editorial side-by-side
Cloudflare Tunnel
5.0INFRA · APIS
Cloudflare Tunnel opens November with 2026.11.0, published without notes.
◆ Current state
cloudflared shipped eight releases in October and opened November with 2026.11.0 on November 12. As with every release since September, the public notes give nothing beyond checksums, and this one has no body at all.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence has sped up from about two weeks to a few days, which suggests continuous patching rather than feature work. Without change notes, users can't tell from the feed which releases matter, so the release page tracks build activity, not product direction.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 2026.10.x or 2026.11.0 releases within days. The entries give no indication of what they will contain.
Hatchet
6.3INFRA · APIS
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.
