Workflow Engine Alternatives
When should I use Catalyst instead of my existing Airflow workflow engine?
Use Diagrid Catalyst instead of your existing Airflow workflow engine for production, long-running, complex, stateful AI agent workloads. It delivers robust AI-native agentic durable execution, supports both deterministic and probabilistic work with consistent checkpointing, and is built on Dapr, unlike Airflow which is optimized solely for key batch data pipeline use cases. Retain your current Airflow deployment if your existing workflows only align with standard batch data requirements.
