Status: Maintenance

Responsibilities

================

The Programs app is responsible for:

* Communicating with the `credentials service`_ (along with the `credentials app`_).

* Program discussion forum and program live configuration.

* The REST API used to render the program dashboard. Legacy routes for this API, left over

from the deprecated remnants of the legacy learner dashboard, exist alongside future-proofed

routes which will work when the deprecated, legacy Program Dashboard is replaced with functionality

in the Learner Dashboard MFE.
