Dapr integrates with over 130 components. State stores, message brokers, LLM providers, and more. Each one is configured through a YAML file, and getting those files right is the kind of work that slows down local development.

The Component Builder in the Diagrid Dev Dashboard turns it into a guided flow. Pick your component, configure authentication and the fields you need, and export a clean YAML file when you're done.

For installation instructions read the docs.
