With NATS in the stack, what's the advantage over using NATS directly?

I'm assuming specifically you mean Nex functions? Otherwise NATS gives you connectivity and a message queue - it doesn't (or didn't) have the concept of task executions or workflows.

With regards to Nex -- it isn't fully stable and only supports Javascript/Webassembly. It's also extremely new, so I'd be curious to see how things stabilize in the coming year.

I wasn't thinking of Nex, I didn't realize Hatchet includes compute and doesn't just store tasks.

Still, it seems like NATS + any lambda implementation + a dumb service that wakes lambdas when they need to process something, would be simple to set up and in combination do the same thing.
