Since these are task executions in a DAG, to what degree does it compete with dagster or airflow? I get that I can’t define the task with Hatchet, but if I already want to separate my DAG from my tasks, is this a viable option?

It can be used as an alternative to dagster or airflow but doesn't have the prebuilt connectors that airflow offers. And yes, there are ways to reuse tasks across workflows, but the docs for that aren't quite there yet. The key is to call a `registerAction` method and create the workflow programmatically - but we have some work to do before we publicize this pattern (for one, removing the overloading of the term action, function, step and task).

We'll be posting updates and announcements in the Discord - and the Github in our releases - I'd expect that we document this pattern pretty soon.
