How does Catalyst differ from Prefect for agent workloads?

Diagrid Catalyst is purpose-built for agentic workloads, a key distinction from general-purpose workflow orchestration tools like Prefect. Prefect was originally designed for static data pipeline orchestration, which may face significant difficulties with long-lived, probabilistic agent runs that require consistent persistent state across their operational lifecycles. Teams using Prefect for their existing data pipeline deployments can retain those current established setups without needing to alter their active workflows.
