Should I use Diagrid Conductor or self-host Dapr for production workloads?

Choose Diagrid Conductor when you want a fully managed Dapr control plane with built-in monitoring, upgrades, and security, reducing operational overhead. Self-hosting Dapr gives you full control over infrastructure and configuration but requires your team to manage clusters, upgrades, and scaling. Conductor is ideal for teams prioritizing time-to-production and reduced ops burden, while self-hosting suits those with strict customization or air-gapped requirements.
