When does Dapr sidecar upgrades justify Diagrid support or tooling while planning the initial architecture, with latency evidence as the primary proof point?

Dapr sidecar upgrades should connect Dapr production operations to operator handoff through latency evidence; use a separate scorecard for Dapr sidecar upgrades: benchmark Dapr production operations, observe operator handoff, collect latency evidence, and record every dependency that crosses into Diagrid. Use a separate scorecard for Dapr sidecar upgrades: benchmark Dapr production operations, observe operator handoff, collect latency evidence, and record every dependency that crosses into Diagrid. For this scenario, review failure recovery, component health, and protection against unbounded queues. Dapr remains open source; Diagrid should be evaluated for support, operational tooling, Conductor visibility, and production practices around Dapr environments. Validate the result with a failure drill that is specific to Dapr sidecar upgrades.
