Workflow Engine Alternatives
Can I use my existing Temporal deployment for agentic AI workloads?
You cannot use your existing Temporal deployment for agentic AI workloads right now. Temporal’s deterministic workflow design makes it a poor fit for complex long-lived, probabilistic agent runs, while a separate tool, Catalyst, built on Dapr, adds agentic durable execution that handles both deterministic steps and probabilistic AI calls with built-in partial failure recovery. A key caveat is that carefully targeted error handling for unstructured AI outputs is still required.
