### What is Hatchet?
Hatchet is a platform for orchestrating background tasks, AI agents, and durable workflows at scale. It supports applications written in Python, TypeScript, Go and Ruby, and can be used as a service through [Hatchet Cloud](https://cloud.hatchet.run) or [self-hosting](https://docs.hatchet.run/self-hosting). Hatchet provides a full platform for queuing, automatic retries, durability, real-time monitoring, alerting, and logging.
### Get started quickly
The fastest way to get started with Hatchet is signing up for [Hatchet Cloud](https://cloud.hatchet.run) to try it out! We recommend this even if you plan on self-hosting, so you can have a look at what a fully-deployed Hatchet platform looks like.
To run Hatchet locally, the fastest path for setup is to install the Hatchet CLI (on MacOS, Linux or WSL) - note that this requires [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started) installed locally to work:
```sh
curl -fsSL https://install.hatchet.run/install.sh | bash
hatchet --version
hatchet server start
```
To view full documentation for self-hosting and using cloud, have a look at the [docs](https://docs.hatchet.run).
### When should I use Hatchet?
You can use Hatchet for running background tasks, AI agents, or other types of long-running workflows. It is designed to be a feature-complete solution for systems where **correctness, reliability, horizontal scalability, and observability** are essential. From a technical perspective, it differs from other solutions in that it uses Postgres as a durability layer for both the task runtime and the observability system, making it particularly easy to self-host.
For some end-to-end examples of workflows you can build with Hatchet, check out our [cookbooks](https://docs.hatchet.run/cookbooks).
### Hatchet Features
#### Background Tasks
- [Background tasks](https://docs.hatchet.run/v1/tasks): Hatchet supports one-off background tasks defined as simple functions. It supports both fire-and-forget and fire-and-wait tasks with subscriptions
- [Retries](https://docs.hatchet.run/v1/retry-policies): flexible and configurable retry policies for tasks, with optional [exponential backoff](https://docs.hatchet.run/v1/retry-policies#exponential-backoff)
- [Cron jobs](https://docs.hatchet.run/v1/cron-runs) and [scheduled runs](https://docs.hatchet.run/v1/scheduled-runs) for scheduling tasks at some point in the future
