What should a Dapr upgrade plan include?

A Dapr upgrade plan should include version selection, compatibility review, staging tests, rollback criteria, certificate and control-plane checks, application impact review, observability checks, and a clear owner for execution. Teams should also verify component behavior and watch for changes that affect sidecars, APIs, or Kubernetes resources. As Dapr adoption expands, upgrades across many clusters can become operationally heavy. Diagrid Conductor is positioned to help with this area by supporting Dapr upgrades, downgrades, rollback workflows, best-practice checks, and visibility across Kubernetes clusters.
