Coverage Requirements Discovery (CRD) is a process in the U.S. healthcare system that aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of prior authorization workflows in healthcare. It involves a healthcare provider's system (like an Electronic Health Record or EMR) communicating with a payer's system to determine the specific requirements for a particular service or procedure before it is delivered to a patient.

Applications running on Choreo often interact with external systems, making egress control a critical layer of security against unauthorized access and data breaches. By offering fine-grained control over outbound traffic, Choreo reinforces its commitment to providing a secure and reliable environment for developers and organizations to deliver exceptional digital experiences to their customers.

In today’s fast-evolving tech world, seamless connectivity between applications and databases is critical, but often comes with challenges such as credential management and environment-specific configurations. Choreo simplifies this process by offering streamlined connection options to Choreo-managed databases, making it easy to integrate components with databases. We’re excited to announce our latest feature: database connections.

One of the major challenges in detecting phishing is the limitations at the Internet Service Provider (ISP) level. Traditional tools often lack the visibility and ability to recognize phishing sites in real time, as they mostly rely on network-level information. Phishing schemes frequently use complex, changing tactics, like rotating domains or imitating legitimate sites, which can go unnoticed without a detailed analysis of the site’s content.

Platform engineering is a software development approach that combines DevOps principles to elevate the developer experience. It focuses on designing and constructing toolchains and workflows that promote self-service capabilities for software engineering teams. By addressing security, compliance, and operational efficiency, platform engineering enables organizations to build robust internal systems tailored to the needs of both developers and operations teams.

In modern applications, real-time interactions have become the norm. Users demand real-time communication in apps like chat platforms, collaborative tools, live streaming services, and games. WebSocket APIs provide an effective means of creating interactive real-time apps by allowing persistent, bidirectional communication between the client and the server.

We are excited to introduce a new feature in Choreo that provides the ability to register and consume third-party services through connections. This feature empowers developers to seamlessly integrate external services such as Twillio, Salesforce, etc. with their Choreo applications, opening up a world of possibilities for creating more robust and versatile applications.

In software application development and deployment, teams typically work collaboratively and require managers to approve certain actions. Companies often adopt external systems like ticketing services, chat applications, external workflow tools such as Jira, or rely on manual emails to manage this coordination. These approaches can disrupt developer workflows.

In the digital age, we interact with countless applications, whether for personal, professional, or recreational purposes. Many of these applications appear consumer-oriented but are, in fact, business-to-business (B2B) applications. For example, when accessing healthcare services, payroll systems, or school management platforms, you are likely using applications where your provider (such as your GP or employer) is a business customer of a larger B2B application.
