Being MIT licensed, does that mean that another company could also offer this as a hosted solution? Did you think about encumbering with a license that allowed commercial use, but prohibited resale?

Also, somewhat related, years ago I wrote a very small framework for fan-out of Django-based tasks in Celery. We have been running it in production for years. It doesn't have adoption beyond our company, but I think there are some good ideas in it. Feel free to take a look if it's of interest! https://github.com/groveco/django-sprinklers

Very cool! Does it support the latest version of Celery?

And to answer the question, no, the license doesn't restrict a company from offering a hosted version of Hatchet. We chose the license that we'd want to see if we were making a decision to adopt Hatchet.

That said, managing and running the cloud version is significantly from a version meant for one org -- the infra surrounding the cloud version manages hundreds and eventually thousands of different tenants. While it's all the same open-source engine + API, there's a lot of work required to distribute the different engine components in a way that's reliable and supports partitioning databases between tenants.
