Temporal Comparison

How do retries differ between Diagrid Catalyst and Temporal for agent workflows?

Temporal retries activities at the SDK level with configurable policies and backoff, relying on replay for consistency. Catalyst extends durable execution to agentic workflows, allowing retries within agent runners that integrate with your chosen framework (e.g., LangGraph). Both require idempotent side-effect handling for exactly-once guarantees, as retries alone do not ensure this.
