dagger
Automation engine to build, test and ship any codebase. Runs locally, in CI, or directly in the cloud (by dagger)
Shameless plug: solving this "push and pray" problem is something we have been focusing on with Dagger. It's an open-source CI platform that decouples the runtime from the triggers. The runtime is open source and local-first, so you develop the actual logic of your pipelines with a proper devloop. Then, you separately wire up your git triggers. The same pipeline logic can be triggered locally or from git events.
IMO this is the only clean way to solve the problem. If you want to check it out and share feedback: https://dagger.io . We also have a very active Discord server full of CI nerds.

Hatchet | Full-Stack Engineer | NYC or SF or REMOTE (US and EU) | https://hatchet.run
Hey HN! I'm Alexander, one of the founders of Hatchet. Hatchet is an open-source platform for running background jobs at scale.
We're hiring engineers who are excited to build the next class of engineering primitives, starting with queues, background tasks and durable execution. We started in early 2024 after launching our distributed task queue (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39643136).
Hatchet is currently used by thousands of engineers for all kinds of workloads: log ingestion pipelines, code review agents, video encoding, GPU scheduling, etc. Our target customer is fast-growing startups who have a strong need for background jobs system. These days, that tends to be AI companies, though we're general-purpose and not exclusively targeted for AI workloads.
Stack: Postgres, Go, Typescript, React, Kubernetes
Applying: email me at alexander@hatchet.run and tell me about something impressive you've built, along with your CV and why you're interested in Hatchet.
Note that we're fully open-source, which you can check out here: https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet (and if you have thoughts / opinions / questions about the codebase, please include those in your note!)

dagu
Local-first workflow engine with a Web UI for small teams. Define DAGs in a declarative YAML format. Self-contained and no DBMS required. Use any AI agent to manage your DAGs.

iapetus
Automate, test, and orchestrate anything that runs in a shell, container, or cloud. No vendor lock-in. 100% open source.

gdag
Easily manage 🕸DAG🕷 with Go. DAG is an acronym for Directed Acyclic Graph. Output is in PlantUML or Mermaid format. Useful for progressing tasks.

Project mention: We rewrote Apache Airflow's control plane in Go (and kept the UI) | dev.to | 2026-06-03
TL;DR — Leoflow v0.0.1 just shipped. It speaks the Airflow API, runs the Airflow 3.2.x UI unmodified, but replaces the Python control plane with Go. Pod-per-task is the only execution mode. Each DAG is its own container image. Fan-in (map-reduce) is a Python list comprehension. Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neochaotic/leoflow/main/install.sh | sh. GitHub: neochaotic/leoflow — stars and issues warmly accepted.

zenflow
Multi-agent orchestration & workflow engine. Declarative YAML workflows, LLM coordinator with hub-and-spoke mailboxes, race-safe delivery. One YAML file, one Go binary. Runs on any goai-supported provider.
Project mention: Show HN: Zenflow a multi-agent orchestration and workflow engine | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-14 -
Partially, but I think if you design for agents, their needs are different enough from a human's that you end up making different choices.
I found myself nodding along to the linked tweet/article. Recently I did many rounds of iterative user-centered design with an agent to improve the CLI interface in Jobs [0], a task manager for LLMs. The resulting CLI follows most of these principles.
One great idea from the tweet that I will be adding: a `feedback` subcommand, for the agent to capture feedback while they work.
