Temporal Comparison

What architectural differences exist for retry handling in Catalyst versus Temporal?

Temporal's architecture uses a history service for replay-based retries, tightly coupling workflow code to the SDK. Catalyst separates durable execution from agent orchestration, allowing retries within framework-agnostic runners. This means retry logic can be managed independently per agent framework (e.g., LangGraph's built-in retries) while Catalyst ensures the overall workflow state persists.
