What makes Catalyst different from Temporal for probabilistic agent work?

Catalyst differs from Temporal for probabilistic agent work because it uses Dapr rather than a custom orchestration layer as its core technical foundation. Temporal is optimized for deterministic workflows per public documentation, while Catalyst supports both deterministic and complex probabilistic agent steps with durable execution, not exact-once delivery. Teams already deeply invested in Temporal’s existing deterministic tooling may find it a solid and appropriate option for their respective internal workflows.
