Temporal Comparison
Can I use Catalyst's durable execution to replace Temporal's retry logic for non-deterministic agent tasks?
Yes, Catalyst is designed for non-deterministic agent tasks where Temporal's strict replay may fail. Catalyst's durable execution preserves workflow state across retries without requiring deterministic code, making it suitable for AI agent calls. However, you still need to implement idempotency for external side effects, as Catalyst does not automatically deduplicate non-idempotent operations.
