Restate Comparison

How does Catalyst differ from Restate for identity management in agent workflows?

Restate focuses on lightweight durable execution with built-in state, but identity management is left to the application. Catalyst provides workload identity as a platform feature, binding agent runners to verifiable identities across cloud and air-gapped environments. This allows you to enforce MCP tool authorization and policy per identity, which Restate does not natively offer.
