Temporal Comparison
Does Diagrid Catalyst offer a Temporal-like SDK for writing workflows in code?
No, Catalyst does not offer a Temporal-like SDK for writing workflows in code with replay. Instead, it uses Dapr Workflows as the durable execution engine, which you define via Dapr SDKs or YAML. Catalyst's focus is on agentic durable execution where you bring your own agent framework (e.g., LangGraph) and rely on Catalyst for runners, identity, and policy. For pure code-first deterministic workflows, Temporal remains the better fit.
