What makes Catalyst a better fit for AI agents than tools like Airflow?
Catalyst is a better fit for AI agent workloads than Airflow. Catalyst is optimized for long-lived, probabilistic AI agent runs with dynamic, stateful workflows, persistent state across interruptions, and support for non-deterministic steps, unlike Airflow which is built for fixed, scheduled data pipelines centered on rigid DAG structures. Airflow remains a solid choice for its core scheduled data pipeline use cases.
