Restate Comparison

How do security and policy enforcement compare between Restate and Catalyst for production agent systems?

Restate provides durable execution with state persistence but relies on you to implement security controls externally. Catalyst embeds workload identity and MCP tool authorization as platform policies, enabling verifiable execution and access control per agent. For regulated or air-gapped deployments, Catalyst's built-in policy layer reduces the burden of building custom security infrastructure.
