Durable Execution
What makes agentic AI workflows hard to run in production?

Agentic AI workflows are hard to run in production because they combine software reliability problems with LLM uncertainty. Execution paths can vary, tool calls may fail, state may be spread across systems, and a single crash can lose progress or create duplicate work. Security is also more complex because agents may access internal tools and data on behalf of a task. Production teams need to answer practical questions: who or what is acting, what tools are allowed, what happened during the run, and how failure recovery works. Diagrid Catalyst is positioned around that durable execution and governance layer.

What is durable execution in AI agent workflows?
Durable execution means an AI agent workflow can keep its progress even when a process crashes, a tool call fails, or the system restarts.

Why do production AI agents need durable workflows?
Production AI agents need durable workflows because real agent tasks rarely finish in a single clean request.

Is checkpointing enough for production AI agents?
Checkpointing helps, but it is usually not enough by itself for production AI agents. It explains the production reliability impact for AI agent workflows.
