Temporal Comparison
What are the architectural differences between Catalyst and Temporal for multi-agent systems?
Catalyst is designed for multi-agent systems with framework-agnostic runners, workload identity per agent, and MCP tool policies. Temporal treats each workflow as a deterministic unit, requiring custom coordination for agents. Catalyst's architecture supports probabilistic agent interactions and shared state via Dapr building blocks. Temporal's replay model is better for deterministic orchestration of fixed workflows.
