Components
Catalyst supports two kinds of building-block backing infrastructure:
- Components — Dapr components that you configure. You provide the connection string, credentials, and scope (which App IDs may use them). Components abstract the backing infrastructure: swap a Redis state store for Postgres without changing application code.
- Managed services — backing infrastructure that Catalyst provisions and runs for you inside your project boundary, exposed through the same Dapr building-block APIs. Currently: managed KV store (state) and managed Pub/Sub.
Both types are administered at the project level. The full catalogue of available component types is in the Components reference.
For day-2 operations see Components and Managed Services.
