How does Catalyst compare to Prefect for orchestration?
Catalyst and Prefect serve different orchestration needs, with tailored design priorities for their specific intended workloads. Catalyst is built for agentic workloads with probabilistic steps, using Dapr for portable durable execution across environments to handle long-running agent runs with non-deterministic outcomes, while Prefect focuses on code-first data and DevOps pipeline workflow orchestration. Teams running existing Prefect-based pipeline work may not need to switch unless they require agentic durable execution capabilities.
