At present, Bots are AWS-only. We have an active enterprise customer who is exploring porting Bots to Google Cloud Functions. Azure Functions are on the longer term roadmap too.

Thanks! It means a lot from someone in the space. There is a ton of duplicated effort out there.

Good question. We take this seriously, and try to keep the dependency footprint small (which is a challenge in the node/npm ecosystem). We try to stick with large, battle-tested dependencies (express, react, etc). For less popular pr

Good question. Custom data is tricky. The first thing we always try to do is dig deep into the FHIR spec to see if the data is truly custom, or if there is an existing FHIR representation that will actually work. In many cases, there are

That's a great question. Healthcare tech is a big and diverse space, and we are still honing a product description that speaks to all audiences. Among technical decision makers (Software Engineers, Architects, etc), the Firebase analog

I could not disagree more. The moment you need to do something remarkably simple, such as string concatenation, you are confronted with the reality that Rust is a much lower level language.

Nice video. Conway's 1968 paper is a good find. The conclusion is slightly defeatist, but ultimately correct. At time 49:23, Casey says "But we have to do them right now, because we haven't figured out how to do it better.&

Language wars aside, I liked this: Returning to Java (and Kotlin) development after a couple of months of Go development, [...] I discovered the value of a certain sort of "plain speaking" in code. This resonates with me. I

The unique part of SF is our extreme inefficiency. We spend huge sums of money without much to show for it. Homelessness is a crisis that is growing all over the US. Homeless crisis in Hawaii sparks state of emergency http://www

The silver lining of regulatory burden is that there is less competition and higher willingness to pay. It is still annoying though. Jonathan Bush, CEO of athenahealth, recently ranted at congress about excessive healthcare regulation. Hi
