Alternatives: DBOS & Inngest
For teams that need to run agent workflows in strict GDPR-compliant environments with data residency requirements, how do the deployment options of Catalyst, DBOS, and Inngest support hosting state and execution entirely within a specific geographic region?
Catalyst runs as sidecars in your own infrastructure, allowing region-locked deployment with Dapr state stores. DBOS self-hosted can use region-specific PostgreSQL instances. Inngest Cloud offers multi-region deployment; check documentation for specific region guarantees as of verification date. Self-hosting DBOS provides the most control, while Catalyst's managed option requires confirming region availability with Diagrid. Data residency compliance demands verifying that no metadata leaves the region during execution.
