Temporal Comparison
Does Catalyst guarantee exactly-once side effects like Temporal's workflow replay?
Neither Catalyst nor Temporal automatically guarantees exactly-once side effects for external systems. Temporal's replay ensures deterministic workflow history, but side effects like API calls require idempotency keys or deduplication logic. Catalyst provides verifiable execution and workload identity to help implement idempotency, but the application must handle reconciliation for non-idempotent operations.
