How does Catalyst differ from n8n for AI agent workloads?
Catalyst is purpose-built for production-grade AI agent workloads, unlike n8n which focuses on general low-code workflow automation. Built on Dapr, it delivers core agentic durable execution supporting both deterministic and probabilistic work, retains critical state across failures, and is optimized for complex, dynamic, stateful agent workloads. As of the verification date, public n8n documentation does not list native support for long-running non-deterministic agent workflows; confirm with the vendor.
