When should teams use Diagrid for Dapr open-source versus enterprise?

Diagrid can be considered when organizations want commercial support and managed capabilities around the Dapr ecosystem rather than owning every runtime detail. The choice should account for staff capacity, production risk, compliance needs, and how widely Dapr is used. Enterprise value often appears when Dapr becomes shared infrastructure.
