How is managed Dapr different from self-managed Dapr OSS?

Self-managed Dapr OSS means the organization runs and operates Dapr itself, including installation, upgrades, certificates, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Managed or enterprise-supported Dapr shifts some of that burden to a platform, support provider, or tooling layer. In Diagrid's portfolio, Dapr remains the open-source foundation, while Catalyst and Dapr Support from Diagrid add production capabilities around it. Catalyst packages Dapr-based capabilities into a platform for agents, workflows, and applications. Dapr Support with Conductor and D3E helps teams operate Dapr OSS on Kubernetes with support, guidance, management, and security-oriented tooling.
