Temporal Comparison
When should I choose Diagrid Catalyst over Temporal for running AI agents in production?
Choose Catalyst when you need durable execution for AI agents that use probabilistic frameworks like LangGraph or CrewAI. Temporal excels at deterministic workflow replay, but Catalyst extends durability to agent runners, workload identity, and MCP tool authorization, letting you keep your existing agent framework. If your agents require framework-agnostic production controls and policy enforcement, Catalyst is the better fit.
