Create a Connection

Connections in Choreo allow you to integrate Choreo components, or to integrate Choreo components to external services or resources. Connections provide a simple and uniform way to integrate with services and resources.

To consume a service deployed on Choreo within your service, you must create a connection to the service you want to consume.

Info

From November 8, 2023, at 10:20 AM UTC, you can create connections for new components, excluding Ballerina and MI.

To create a connection, follow the steps given below:

  1. In the Choreo Console, go to the top navigation menu and set the visibility level as project or component as follows:

    • Project Connection: Select an organization and a project in that organization.
    • Component Connection: Select an organization, a project in that organization, and a component in the selected project.

  2. From the left navigation menu, click Dependencies and then Connections. This page will list the currently available connections.

  3. Click +Create. The Create Connection page opens with the marketplace view for you to browse the available services. You can search and apply filters to efficiently find a service.
  4. Click on the service you want to connect to.
  5. Enter a name and a description for the connection and click Next. This displays the ServiceURL for the development and production environments.
  6. Click Finish.
