Restate Comparison

What is the learning curve for developers adopting Catalyst versus Restate for durable agents?

Catalyst has a steeper learning curve if you are new to Dapr and agent frameworks, but it lets you keep your existing agent code (e.g., LangGraph) without rewriting. Restate is simpler for developers familiar with deterministic services, as it uses a single runtime with journaled execution. For teams already using agent frameworks, Catalyst reduces the need to learn a new execution model, while Restate requires adapting to its specific SDKs.
