Temporal Comparison

How does Catalyst durable execution differ from Temporal workflows and activities?

Catalyst durable execution uses Dapr Workflows as the runtime, which is a building block for durable, stateful workflow orchestration within a broader distributed-application platform. Temporal workflows and activities are a code-first model with deterministic replay. Catalyst differs by integrating workflow durability with framework-agnostic agent runners, workload identity, and MCP tool authorization, allowing you to use agent frameworks like LangGraph while still benefiting from durable execution.
