What operational differences should I expect when running Catalyst vs Temporal in production?

Catalyst is a managed platform that handles scaling, state persistence, and monitoring for durable workflows, reducing operational overhead compared to self-hosting Temporal. Temporal Cloud offers similar managed benefits but with a different pricing model. Catalyst integrates with Dapr building blocks, so you may need to manage sidecar configurations. For air-gapped environments, Catalyst supports deployment without external dependencies, which may simplify operations in restricted networks.
