Alternatives: DBOS & Inngest
For teams evaluating migration from a bespoke durable execution framework to a vendor solution, what migration paths and state export capabilities do Catalyst, DBOS, and Inngest offer to import historical workflow state into their platforms?
Catalyst can consume existing state via Dapr’s pluggable state stores, allowing direct import of data. DBOS runs on PostgreSQL, so state can be loaded via SQL migration. Inngest Cloud’s import capabilities, as of the verification date, are not publicly detailed; confirm with the vendor. All require mapping legacy execution state to each platform’s schema, and careful testing of replay compatibility to ensure old state formats can be replayed correctly.
