One of the most important aspects of building an application is its stable and well thought out security. Everything from RBAC, storing sensitive data, and encryption need to be considered. Learn about important security concepts to keep in mind when building your applications in this course: Security Information and Best Practices, part of the Solutions Architect Learning Path. 

Version 1.5 of the Release Management tool brings 3 new features that promise to transform the release & promotion process into an unparalleled version control experience.Unqork’s latest updates for this month bring you Release Management v1.5, a powerful new way to prepare and promote releases with our Release Management tool. These are the three reasons we are excited to be providing Creators this update.1. Create a snapshot of your releaseUsing the Release Management tool to promote a release is now a two-step process: Creating a tagged release (list of applications, modules, and data collections, including a record of the versions of the included modules) Promoting that tagged release Tagging a release creates a snapshot of the release at that moment, keeping its current state frozen in time. When you promote the tagged release to a target environment in the future, the promoted release reflects the versions of the modules as they were when the release was tagged—even if changes have been made since then. This powerful new way to use the Release Management tool brings flexibility to the release management process. Creators can more easily experiment with application changes without losing a record of a previous stable version.2. Release only part of your applicationNow Creators can select a subset of an application’s modules and data collections to include in their release. You can even select modules and data collections from different tagged releases, letting you draw from different snapshots for a single release! With partial application releases, you have more control than ever over the release management process.3. Leverage a new integration APIWith the new Release Management Integration API, you can automate promotion processes via external services. Integrating the release management process into your external continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines is easier than ever. See this release in action 

Take a look at the latest developments of our innovative product, the Unqork Marketplace. Here’s why it is the most efficient way to optimize enterprise no-code application development.Unqork believes in helping developers work smarter, not harder. Through visual interfaces, intuitive business logic, and drag-and-drop components, no-code helps you do just that. With no-code, you can build high-quality applications in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost, all without writing a single line of code. We love no-code development at Unqork, but recently we got to thinking—can we do more? Can we make some aspects of web application development even faster and easier? We wanted to provide more tools, more integrations, and ways to boost efficiency and productivity on Unqork for our Creators (those who develop on the Unqork platform). “We know that the best way to offer these capabilities was by supporting a larger ecosystem around the Unqork platform,” says Warren Chen, our Vice President of Marketplace.And thus, the Unqork Marketplace was born. Nadia Abossein, Lead GTM Product Manager, adds, “It’s one of our top priorities.” Unqork Marketplace now has a robust team of full-time Unqorkers dedicated to its utility, longevity, and development. Here’s the inside scoop on one of our most exciting debuts this year.How the Unqork Marketplace worksThe Unqork Marketplace gives Creators access to a wide array of reliable, easy-to-install tools and capabilities called “assets”. Marketplace assets include applications, templates, integrations, and snippets, all of which can be directly installed into your Unqork environment and used right away. Unqork’s Codeless Architecture enables Creators to browse the Marketplace’s catalog of assets, download the assets they want to use, and seamlessly place them in their application.“The Unqork Marketplace enables Creators to not have to build applications from scratch,” Warren notes. This makes application development on Unqork even more efficient and cost-effective—using pre-built components allows Creators to build apps that are proven to work, reducing errors and improving time-to-market. Also, modifying a Marketplace asset won’t affect any other modules that currently use that component, helping prevent bugs before they take root. We have 65 assets currently available for creators and every month we add five or six new ones to the Marketplace! One newer Marketplace asset worth noting is the For Loop snippet, which enables you to perform a looping command. Performing the same action one at a time isn't efficient—with For Loop, Unqork Creators can eliminate this repetitive task and ultimately develop faster. Set up is quick and easy—simply install the snippet into your environment, access it from the Marketplace snippets section, and drop it onto the canvas of your module.“Snippets are the power behind Marketplace because I know what my clients need me to build. If there are snippets in here that help me build faster, that's the real beauty of Marketplace and that's where the bread and butter is going to be.” — Partner Application SpecialistBy allowing creators to easily access useful pre-built capabilities, Unqork Marketplace acts as a “foundation” for creation on Unqork, to use Nadia’s words. She also points to the Marketplace’s hope to further “democratize and expand access throughout the no-code development process,” helping current and future no-coders build better applications. Whether it’s dragging snippets into modules, starting applications from a template, or scrolling through assets for inspiration, the Marketplace has already made a huge impact. Since its launch this past June, Creators make use of the Unqork Marketplace more than 900 times on a monthly basis! Over a quarter of active Unqork Creators have built within at least one Marketplace listing. Thus far, more than 1,750 modules have been created with a snippet and over 250 applications have been made with the help of templates. What’s next for the Unqork Marketplace?Although the Unqork Marketplace is already an essential toolkit used by 25% of Unqorkers and no-code Creators, we’re constantly looking to do more and push boundaries. Our end goal is to maximize the Marketplace’s value for everyone who uses our platform—individual Creators, entire enterprises, and even other popular platforms.We're focusing heavily on two areas of growth for the marketplace right now—usability and capability. The Unqork Marketplace currently acts as an external hub (and is actually built using Unqork’s no-code platform!), but we’re hoping to integrate it deeper into how builders create on the Unqork platform. This will make it even easier for Creators to leverage assets and add capabilities to their nodes, supporting more seamless builds and modifications throughout the DevOps process.Along with improving the user’s experience of Unqork Marketplace, we want to support as much creativity as possible within the Marketplace itself. Warren explains that one aspect of this includes creating a “formalized process for picking partnerships” that promotes feedback and identifies key Marketplace features. We hope this will give people who use the Marketplace direct influence over what capabilities it leverages—and help us bring even more assets into the Marketplace every month!“Marketplace helps our Creators build faster! It builds confidence in our client when they see how fast we can build.” — Raj Palireddy, Sr. Solutions Architect, Persistent SystemsThe Unqork team also wants to eventually support third-party publishers, enabling them to create and share their assets on the Marketplace and engage directly with Creators. We hope this capability contributes to our long-term vision of having the Marketplace be an Unqork ecosystem, one that promotes collaboration while ensuring Creators get the features they need. “We’re creating the initial foundation for this flow now,” Nadia reveals, “and we’re hoping to bring on our first third-party publishers in the first quarter of 2022.”Even though it’s relatively young, the Unqork Marketplace already provides a massive amount of utility and power to Creators. We know that Unqork Marketplace will only continue to grow it's impact for our customers and Creators. By helping it grow into an ecosystem for Creators that truly integrates with other Unqork capabilities, we hope the Marketplace becomes a core aspect of our Codeless Architecture.Learn more about Unqork Marketplace here and keep checking back for new features, assets, and capabilities!Stay in touch with other no-code developments by subscribing to our newsletter, and schedule a personalized demonstration of Unqork with an in-house expert today.

Unqork 2021.11 introduces dynamic user flows and key integrations for healthcare applications, among other exciting updates.The Screen/Task node, Certificate Management Administration page, and Unqork Marketplace received some major tune-ups for Unqork 2021.11. I am excited to be debuting them, so let’s get right to it! Creator productivity: create dynamic user flowsImagine you want to show a different screen in your workflow based on which state your end-user selects as their residence. In the past, Creators needed to add dozens of Screen/Task nodes, gateways, and logic links to their workflow to make this possible. Now, you can make it happen with a single Screen/Task node, thanks to the new Screen Type setting. Simply select whether to show a static or dynamically-defined module when the workflow proceeds to the Screen/Task node.By choosing “dynamic”, you can display to end-users one of several modules based on the data they submit.For example, you can configure a Dropdown component with a list of all 50 states, and have a different module ID store in the submission for each possible option. If the end-user selects that they live in state X, module ID Y is stored. Then, the Screen/Task node references that stored module ID value to know which module to display.Self-serviceability: easily add, view, and manage mTLS certificatesNow, you can easily manage all mTLS certificates in one centralized location. Use the certificates dashboard to get an at-a-glance view of your certificates, including their status, expiration date, and how many services are linked to the certificate. It's also easier than ever to quickly link multiple services to a single certificate.Learn more about our Certificate Management update here.Platform extensibility: healthcare providers can enjoy powerful new integrationsThe latest batch of Marketplace listings help end-users through several stages of the healthcare journey, from assessing initial symptoms to traveling to their appointment. Workpath Scheduling: Let end-users schedule at-home visits for any service offered by a provider found in Workpath's network Ribbon Health: Make it easy for a new patient to look up doctors in a provider database and filter to find the best fit based on their criteria Uber Health: Provide patients an opportunity to schedule a ride to their appointment with user-friendly inputs for pick up, drop off, price estimates, and ride booking Infermedica Symptoms Tracker: Prompt end-users to provide demographic information and select their symptoms so that they can receive a diagnosis To learn more about how Unqork’s no-code platform works, schedule a personalized demonstration with one of our in-house experts.

New integrations with Uber Health, Workpath, Infermedica and Ribbon Health open up the Unqork Marketplace to healthcare customers.  Unqork has announced the launch of a new suite of healthcare integrations in the Unqork Marketplace, the first no-code marketplace. Pre-built integrations with Uber Health, Workpath, Ribbon Health and Infermedica will be accessible via the Unqork Marketplace as part of an extensive library of no-code assets that can be used to jumpstart healthcare projects and build enterprise software faster, at a higher quality and a lower cost than methods that depend on coding. As the first set of accelerators in the Unqork Marketplace designed specifically for healthcare customers, this launch opens the door for health plans, life sciences companies and providers to reap the benefits of the Unqork Marketplace. “The pandemic has placed a spotlight on the direct link between software and patient care, demonstrating the necessity of digital capabilities for healthcare organizations,” said Kara Dennis, Head of Healthcare, Unqork. “These new integrations connect Unqork’s customers with leading health technology and services, allowing them to maximize the potential of Unqork’s no-code platform to build best-in-class digital experiences. These solutions enhance a healthcare companies’ ability to modernize patient and member experiences, and to optimize internal workflows.” Supporting at-home and on-site patient careFor healthcare organizations using Unqork to modernize member and patient experiences, the Uber Health and Workpath integrations provide essential capabilities for supporting on-site and at-home patient care, respectively. Uber Health’s HIPAA-enabled solutions support healthcare organizations by providing access to stress-free transportation for those they care for. By integrating with the Uber Health platform, Unqork customers will be able to efficiently configure an administrative interface for requesting and managing rides. Leveraging Uber Health, Unqork customers can (a) help their patients get to and from critical office visits, supporting patient retention and adherence to care plans; and (b) help study participants get to study sites, increasing the likelihood of attendance with a tech-forward approach.  Workpath enables healthcare companies to provide on-demand, in-home services by dispatching healthcare professionals to a patient’s home from the company’s nationwide network. The Workpath integration allows Unqork’s customers to quickly configure scheduling capabilities directly in their applications. With Workpath’s API, patients benefit from a white-labeled experience that allows them to provide their information, schedule an at-home visit at their convenience, receive confirmation and real-time notifications, and communicate with healthcare professionals.These integrations support clinical trial enrollment and onboarding for life sciences companies, and enable enhanced member and patient services for payers and providers. Enhancing member servicesFor health plans, providing modern, unified digital experiences for members has become essential. With Unqork, health plans can build prospect portals, member onboarding, and other member experiences with a wide array of self-service tools and health management recommendations, including: Infermedica’s medical guidance platform for pre-diagnosis and triage. Infermedica combines the latest clinical evidence with advanced machine learning to help patients and providers make important healthcare decisions with confidence. With the Infermedica integration, health plans can enhance their member experience with digital front door tools for improved diagnostic accuracy and triage guidance. Ribbon Health’s healthcare data platform provides critical infrastructure that payers, providers, and digital health solutions can use to enable accurate provider directories, reliable referral management, and efficient care navigation. Through the Ribbon Health integration, Unqork’s customers can connect their member experiences with a provider database, giving members the ability to query for in-network doctors and filter to find the best fit for their criteria. To learn more, visit the Unqork Marketplace.

Unqork 2021.10 is our biggest, most important release of the year and has a little something for everyone. We’re really excited to introduce Unqork 2021.10, our biggest release of the year. This update includes a suite of new no-code functionality—some of which our teams have been working on for more than a year. With this release, we are delivering unique benefits throughout your organization. C-level tech leaders will have new tools in their no-code arsenal to rapidly build and effectively manage new applications. Heads of app development will be better equipped to source and organize no-code projects directly in the platform—as well as the ability to more efficiently scale the testing of applications they have. We’ve provided ops and network leaders with the ability to pass data between systems without ever going over the public internet. And as for the developers? Let’s just say there’s going to be a huge difference in the no-code applications you build from here on out and we can’t wait to see what you create. With that, let’s jump into a few of the big changes with 2021.10. New spreadsheet-like functionality   Traditionally many business processes are like an assembly line. One task has to be completed before it goes on to the next worker to do their part. These limitations don’t necessarily reflect the true nature of a modern collaborative business workflow. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Parallel Execution. With Parallel Execution, Creators can build workflows that support simultaneous business processes. Parallel Execution allows you to split business processes into multiple flows, which promotes greater flexibility and a better experience for end-users. This is a huge deal and allows you to bring a new dimension of experience to end-users.Let’s take the example of applying for life insurance. This is an inherently complex process involving multiple stakeholders. Traditionally, certain tasks couldn’t be started until a previous task was first completed. In a typical digital workflow, a broker initiates the application process on behalf of a client and then collects and validates each piece of information. After that, a doctor submits a health assessment. Once that’s submitted, an underwriter needs to review all the records, and after all that, at the end of the assembly line, the broker approves the application.  With Parallel Execution, Creators can build an application in which all tasks can be executed simultaneously by all relevant stakeholders instead of waiting for a previous step to be completed first. As a result, processes move much faster, and ultimately organizations can deliver a superior experience to end-users. Keep your company’s data privateFor many of our customers’ network and security engineers, a direct connection to a SaaS vendor like Unqork is preferred over connections via public service endpoints. With Unqork Private Cloud, your data can now be securely passed between systems without ever traversing the public internet. This is all made possible with brand-new integrations with AWS and Azure. With a direct connection through Unqork Private Cloud, Unqork establishes a dedicated, private connection between the Unqork environment (in an Unqork-managed Azure or AWS VPC) and the customer’s own virtual private cloud (VPC). Track and prioritize projects in your IT backlog Unqork’s new Discovery Hub helps your enterprise efficiently source impactful projects, manage their statuses, and prioritize them based on metrics you set in a single pane of glass. This centralized view provides full transparency into project status as they travel from ideation to production. It makes it easy for application development leads to organize projects and optimize the allocation of resources.Ensure enterprise-quality applications, quicklyOur new Testing Tool helps ensure high-quality applications in a fraction of the time. The Testing Tool allows you to build automated tests for APIs that can be triggered every time a change is made. This new functionality brings Creators closer to the testing process. The tool empowers Creators who know the application best to easily design automated tests to understand if their module is functioning as expected before sending to QA for a more robust analysis. By empowering Creators to build custom automated tests, companies are better suited to ensure quality performance across many applications at scale.By empowering Creators to build custom automated tests, companies are better suited to ensure quality performance across many applications at scale. Find your work and collaborate with colleagues fasterThe platform’s new Advanced Search feature helps Creators find what they need, faster. Before, search was limited to queries against element titles, leading Creators to frequently duplicate browser tabs and manually replace IDs within the URL to locate the items they need.Forget about duplicating browser tabs and copy and pasting long strings of IDs into a URL. Now you can collaborate faster with colleagues and contributors by sharing and searching for relevant element IDs directly in the platform. Search for those IDs (Modules, Workflows, Data Collections, Applications, and Workspaces) right from Quick Search or Advanced Search.More than just a faceliftOver the past two years, our Platform UI team has been hard at work building a world-class design system from scratch. This is the first-ever design system built for an enterprise no-code application platform. This new Redesign is far more than just a facelift, it streamlines the entire user experience to improve learnability and increase Creator productivity. Beginning today, you’ll see the Unqork Redesign in Workspaces, and we’ll roll it out to the entire platform over the coming months.To learn more about how Unqork’s no-code platform works, schedule a personalized demonstration with one of our in-house experts.

Unqork 2021.7 debuts the world’s first ever no-code Marketplace as well as a slew of process enhancements around validation controls.This was an exciting month for Unqork. Unqork 2021.7 not only provides enhancements to Module Validation Controls and the overall Unqork Development Life Cycle (UDLC) toolkit—it also marks the debut of the world’s first ever no-code Marketplace.Now, let’s dive into the updates!Unveiling the MarketplaceBuilt specifically for the enterprise to build applications at lightning speed, the Unqork Marketplace is an extensive library of no-code assets: pre-configured software snippets, pre-built integrations from partners like DocuSign, Twilio and Experian, and customizable applications that have wide applicability across industries. Creators and engineers simply drag-and-drop these time-saving assets and add them to their Unqork environment. “We’re not a tool in a tool belt, we’re the entire workshop.”It’s the first (and only) Marketplace of its kind. As our CEO and Founder Gary Hoberman puts it, “We’re not a tool in a tool belt, we’re the entire workshop.”Learn more about the benefits of the Marketplace directly from our VP of Marketplace, Warren Chen, in our launch announcement. Two new triggers for module validationTo add control around module validation, we've added two triggers to the Button component: Trigger for valid form: Triggers before saving the form, but only if the module is valid (all required fields have values) Trigger for invalid form: Triggers before saving the form, but only if the module is invalid These new settings give Creators more finely-tuned control over the module's behavior in the face of validation errors.UDLC toolkit process enhancementsCreators are now able to add notes to violations highlighted by the Config Analysis tool. Adding notes can help provide context around the status of each violation, helping reduce production issues for the end-user and increasing accountability for the Creator.Creators can now open the SSE (Server-Side Execute) Debugger from the Service Logs Dashboard tool—and populate the SSE Debugger with pertinent service log data. This is thanks to the inclusion of the serviceLogId in the query string on page open. This new link improves efficiency and decreases the time and number of steps involved in the debugging process.With the Marketplace launch, Unqork 2021.7 is perhaps our most ambitious platform update to date. We are certain that the Marketplace will help Creators and engineers build faster than ever before, and we are pleased with the various other enhancements the Unqork team has managed to provide users despite a product launch that required 24/7 attention.To learn more about how Unqork’s no-code platform works, schedule a personalized demonstration with one of our in-house experts.

Unqork 2021.5 consolidates SDLC features in one location, adds industry-first capabilities, and integrates with existing tools to enrich necessary development tools with valuable insights. We are excited to announce the release of Unqork 2021.5, our most ambitious attempt yet to help enterprises bring mission-critical applications to market faster and more cost-effectively. Engineering teams will efficiently be able to transform the way the organization does business with the power of our no-code application building platform. Unqork 2021.5 consolidates existing software development lifecycle (SDLC) features into a single tool in the Unqork platform while seamlessly integrating with all the external SDLC tools that development teams are already using. This release will provide support for essential engineering tasks while also introducing some industry-first functionalities. The features and associated benefits included in Unqork 2021.5 are outlined below and can always be referenced in the future via our Documentation Hub.Industry-First FeaturesAPI auto-documentationOur API Docs Dashboard provides a view of all API modules in a workspace. An "API module" in particular is a bundle of Unqork functionality that interacts with an API. When you create one of these modules in Unqork, the API Docs Dashboard instantly and automatically generates documentation (e.g., the type of call you're making, the parameters the module is expecting to receive, what data you can expect to get back, etc.) which you and your colleagues can use to plan and design your Unqork applications. Traditionally, API documentation tends to be done after the fact. By auto-generating APIs in a consistent, uniform format, Unqork allows application development teams to quickly reuse and share APIs via Unqork’s drag-and-drop approach with the added assurance that documentation is always up-to-date. This allows relevant features of legacy applications to be leveraged for new, previously unknown uses.Data model auto-documentationThis gives users added governance through visibility into every data model that exists in their environment. Unqork was built with a completely integrated data store and is designed to allow users to define their data model as their application evolves. Now, development teams have a clean change log over who is making alterations in data models while automatically and instantly documenting all models for preferred use in the future. The result is an ability to develop software with incredible speed while still maintaining tight data modeling control and governance. Deployments, release management, and rollback Once an application has been built, the Unqork platform helps Creators (what we call application builders at Unqork) save time, reduce the risk of failure, and have a safety net with our newest industry-first Rollback feature.The Module Revisions Dashboard displays an auditable history of application changes, helping Creators see the "change log" of a module and more robustly compare revisions. This increases their productivity and allows Creators to promote or release software faster with fewer bugs.The Release Management Tool helps users make informed decisions about which applications to release by organizing versions and releases in an easily searchable format. This helps identify opportunities for releasing multiple applications in unison, so they can improve release efficiency. The point-in-time Rollback feature is a part of the Release Management Tool. Rollback offers a single-click ability to restore a previous version of an application in instances of production issues, changing workstreams, etc. SDLC features baked into one platformApplication dependenciesAs users begin building a solution, the Application Dependencies Dashboard helps them understand the connections that exist in their environment between microservices, external services, applications, and modules.Creators can easily identify dependencies and any potential downstream changes as they plan and design their application. When a change is made in one place, it becomes obvious what might be impacted; now, teams can prepare for potential disruptions.Testing and config analysis Unqork 2021.5 includes features that bolster the test and debug process to help Creators look for and remove errors, ensuring their applications are hitting high-quality standards.The Service Logs Dashboard helps engineers identify and address bugs, plan optimizations across different modules, and collaborate with fellow Creators. This is done with a rich search interface and visualizations (i.e. charts, graphs) of trends for their most important transactional logs. By reviewing, saving, and sharing service logs in this dashboard, Creators can build and debug their API integrations faster than they could when using a traditional code-based development approach.The Signal Start Node is a tool to perform a test run of a workflow.Creators use these test workflows to experiment and review their applications’ behaviors and automate testing activities such as initiating a QA ticket or interacting with an external testing framework.Meanwhile, the Config Analysis Tool automatically checks for any configuration that doesn't abide by best practices for security, stability, and performance.Logging, metrics, and monitoringOnce an application is live, support teams can easily monitor their most important performance metrics in Unqork.A Logs Dashboard proactively monitors for any abnormalities and surfaces errors and slow-performing requests that may merit attention to Creators.A Metrics Dashboard tracks CPU, Memory, Network Traffic, and more, providing a centralized view to help monitor an environment and ensure everything is running smoothly.Why We’re ExcitedWe believe that this latest release will revolutionize the way your enterprise develops and delivers solutions. Engineers want to build the software that drives their company’s success and discover innovative solutions to complex problems. Instead, they are stuck maintaining and debugging code and managing repetitive tasks.With Unqork’s no-code application building platform, engineers can accelerate development 3x faster, reduce bugs by up to 600x, easily integrate with all their systems, and ensure security and compliance across the entire SDLC.

The release of Unqork 2021.4 means that Data Workflow now supports Manual Layout for increased flexibility, and workflows can be automated with Signal Start Nodes. Unqork 2021.4 is here to help all Creators build more efficiently than ever before. The Data Workflow now supports Manual Layout to minimize the time it takes you to edit a workflow, while Signal Start Nodes automate previously user-triggered workflows. We are excited to dive deeper into our improved functionalities that increase flexibility and further automates manual work. Data Workflow When working with large or complex data workflows, sometimes it can be difficult to locate the operator when a new operator is dragged into the auto layout. With the Enable Manual Layout toggle, Creators now have the flexibility to place their Data Workflow operator anywhere on the canvas that feels most intuitive to them. Users can now drag-and-drop operators without their placements being reset after a new operator is added to the canvas.With Unqork 2021.4, we also added tooltips to every single operator in the Data Workflow component! Now, Creators can get an overview of what each operator does and how to use it correctly from inside the component. And don't forget, you can click the Go To Help Page link to bring up our In-Product Help. There, you can access over 75 Data Workflow-related articles, with new content added regularly.Automate workflows with Signal Start NodesIn the past, workflows could only be triggered by user action or with timers. Creators needed a way to create automated workflows that are triggered by internal and external signals. Creators can now set up a smart-workflow to initiate based on internal system events.In response, we have expanded our integrations to include signal-based eventing and mechanisms. Creators can now set up a smart-workflow to initiate based on internal system events. Enhancements include: Workflow editor: Workflows are now fully validated on every save, ensuring base pieces are in place (like the workflow path) and no changes have been made that corrupt the workflow definition Exclusive gateway: Allows for more gateway types in the future To learn more about how Unqork’s no-code platform works, schedule a personalized demonstration with one of our in-house experts.
