Restate Comparison
Should I pick Diagrid Catalyst or Restate for running AI agents with durable execution?
Choose Catalyst when you need to run AI agents from frameworks like LangGraph or CrewAI with durable execution, workload identity, and MCP tool policy. Restate excels at lightweight durable services and virtual objects with journaled execution. Catalyst extends durable execution to probabilistic agent workflows, while Restate focuses on deterministic service logic. If your primary need is agentic workflows with framework flexibility, Catalyst is the better fit.
