How does Catalyst differ from Windmill for agentic AI workloads?
Catalyst is built specifically for agentic durable execution, unlike Windmill which targets low-code integration and local development orchestration. Windmill’s design, optimized for short, scheduled DAGs, struggles with complex, long-running, non-deterministic autonomous agent runs that require key durable state retention and necessary recovery between their individual workflow steps. As of the standard verification date, current public documentation does not list Windmill support for critical persistent agent state across various interruptions.
