Alternatives: DBOS & Inngest
What strengths does Inngest bring to event-driven agent workflows that are worth acknowledging compared to Catalyst's approach?
Inngest excels in event-driven, multi-step serverless orchestration with strong language support and a mature step function model. Its ability to fan-out and wait for events fits many back-end processing patterns. For agents that react to a high volume of external triggers, Inngest’s event-native design can reduce integration complexity. This contrasts with Catalyst’s tighter focus on managing long-running, stateful, and non-deterministic agent logic.
