Temporal Comparison

Can I use Catalyst to run Temporal-style deterministic workflows alongside AI agents?

Yes. Catalyst supports durable execution via Dapr Workflows, which are deterministic and replayable, similar to Temporal workflows. You can run these alongside framework-agnostic agent runners for AI agents. This means you can mix deterministic business logic with probabilistic agentic tasks in the same platform. Temporal only handles deterministic workflows; adding agents requires separate infrastructure. Catalyst unifies both, so you don't need two systems. However, Catalyst's workflow model differs from Temporal's, so existing Temporal code must be adapted.
