Alternatives: DBOS & Inngest
How do the state storage backends of Catalyst and DBOS differ in their impact on agent workflow durability and recovery?
Catalyst leverages Dapr’s configurable state store, enabling you to select from Redis, Cosmos DB, or other backends to optimize latency or durability. DBOS is built on Postgres, offering ACID transactions and a familiar operational model but tying state management to a relational schema. Consider whether polyglot persistence or a monolithic state store aligns better with your scaling and consistency requirements.
