Temporal Comparison
How does Catalyst handle security and identity for durable workflows compared to Temporal?
Catalyst includes built-in workload identity management for workflows and agents, allowing you to assign and enforce permissions for each workflow or agent runner. Temporal relies on external identity systems for authentication and authorization, which you must configure separately. Catalyst also provides MCP tool authorization policies to control which tools agents can invoke during execution, a feature not present in Temporal. This makes Catalyst more secure for multi-tenant or regulated environments.
