Restate Comparison
What testing capabilities does Catalyst offer for agent workflows that Restate lacks?
Catalyst supports testing agent workflows by running them in isolation with verifiable execution logs, enabling replay and debugging of both deterministic and probabilistic steps. Restate provides local testing via its runtime and SDK mocking, but focuses on deterministic journaled services. Catalyst's framework-agnostic runners let you test agents from LangGraph or OpenAI Agents SDK as-is, while Restate requires adapting to its SDK and workflow model.
