Diagrid Catalyst (Beta)

Diagrid is founded in 2024 by the co-creators of Dapr open source. They developed large-scale platforms for running distributed applications at Microsoft. The aim of Diagrid is to boost developer productivity by providing tools and APIs for building cloud native applications.

Focus

Diagrid Catalyst is a collection of API-based programming patterns for messaging, data, and workflow that is fully compliant with the Dapr open source project. Dapr enables developers to significantly reduce boilerplate code while fortifying applications with security, resiliency, and more. Dapr is widely-adopted by developers on Kubernetes and thanks to Catalyst, is now available for developers to use and consume from any hosting platform without the management overhead. For pricing you will need to contact Diagrid directly.

Key Features

• Unified APIs: Catalyst provides a consistent set of APIs for messaging, data management, and workflow orchestration, allowing developers to interact seamlessly with their existing infrastructure.
• Serverless Infrastructure: It offers serverless pub/sub and key/value store services that automatically scale according to usage, eliminating the need for operational maintenance while ensuring high performance and security.
• Flexibility and Compatibility: Catalyst is built on open-source Dapr, ensuring compatibility across various platforms, including cloud, edge, and on-premises environments. This flexibility allows developers to switch underlying infrastructure with minimal code changes.
• Enhanced Developer Productivity: By encapsulating best practices and providing features like retries, circuit breakers, and access policies, Catalyst reduces boilerplate code and enhances developer efficiency. This allows teams to focus more on business logic rather than infrastructure concerns.
• Security and Resiliency: The platform incorporates built-in security measures and resiliency features, such as automatic error handling and auditing capabilities, which help in building reliable applications
