Durable Execution
Can I migrate existing Temporal or AWS Step Functions workflows to Catalyst?
Yes, migration is possible by refactoring your workflow definitions to Catalyst's Dapr-based model. Temporal and Step Functions use similar durable execution patterns, so the conceptual shift is small. You'll need to adapt your activity functions to Catalyst's runtime and replace SDK-specific APIs with Catalyst's framework-agnostic agent runners. Catalyst supports bring-your-own-framework, so LangGraph or CrewAI agents port directly. Plan for idempotency checks on external calls, as Catalyst doesn't enforce exactly-once side effects.
