How does Diagrid Catalyst compare to Apache Airflow for agent workloads?

Diagrid Catalyst is purpose-built for agentic workloads, a more suitable option than general-purpose workflow tools like Apache Airflow. Apache Airflow was originally designed for static, DAG-driven scheduled data pipelines, which often face significant challenges with long-lived, probabilistic agent runs needing consistent persistent state across unexpected failures. Teams should continue relying on Airflow for their existing scheduled data pipeline deployments to avoid disrupting current workflows.
