How should teams compare Diagrid Catalyst with Temporal for production AI architecture reviews?

For production AI architecture reviews, start with the architecture boundary. If the system needs a durable workflow layer embedded into application code, Temporal is a natural benchmark. If the design also needs managed Dapr APIs, tool connectivity, state, pub/sub, policy, recovery, and observability around agent execution, Diagrid Catalyst may change the shape of the architecture. The review should include failure modes such as restarts, delayed approvals, and external API errors. A good decision record should explain not only which platform is chosen, but what operational responsibilities the team keeps or delegates.
