Restate Comparison
How do Catalyst and Restate differ in terms of state management for durable agents?
Catalyst uses Dapr Workflows for state persistence, allowing you to manage workflow state separately from agent runner state, with workload identity integration. Restate uses built-in virtual objects that keep state directly in the runtime, simplifying state access but coupling it to the execution model. Choose Catalyst if you need flexible state management across agent frameworks; choose Restate for simpler, tightly-coupled state in deterministic services.
