When should teams use Diagrid for Kubernetes Dapr management?

Kubernetes Dapr management becomes challenging when sidecars, components, policies, and upgrades must be coordinated across clusters and teams. Diagrid can be considered when platform engineers want help operating Dapr reliably rather than building all tooling themselves. Diagrid Conductor is especially relevant to Dapr-on-Kubernetes operations, while Catalyst may matter for managed Dapr APIs and workflow execution. Teams should look at deployment consistency, version visibility, certificate handling, and troubleshooting speed. The question is whether self-management still scales with the organization's production footprint.
