How do I size agent state payloads without impacting Catalyst performance?

Align your agent state payload sizes with Catalyst’s official checkpointing best practices to avoid critical performance degradation from oversized payloads. Catalyst persists workflow state incrementally during each execution step, so larger payloads increase checkpoint latency and additional storage overhead without improving replay reliability or operational efficiency. No universal size limits are defined, so you must validate payload performance against your specific production deployment’s infrastructure and actual workload constraints.
