Oracle application development services

Develop, build, and deploy

Develop

Develop with any language or framework. OCI is built to work the way you work.

• Use OCI via the console or with APIs, SDKs, CLIs, and Terraform providers.
• For Java and GraalVM, Java support is included in every paid tenancy.
• Reduce context switching with tools, such as the in-console Code Editor, for editing code or scripts.
• Building on top of Java are Java EE/Jakarta EE and MicroProfile-compliant framework offerings are available from Oracle.

Build and deploy

Build and iterate faster with OCI-native toolchains to simplify the process of adopting containers, automation, and infrastructure as code.

• Run declarative CI/CD pipelines to automate your end-to-end delivery with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) DevOps. Connect to private resources, integrate existing CI tools, and adopt advanced deployment strategies.
• Connect and replicate GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or other repos to the Code Repository, along with a Container Registry and Artifact Repository.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Resource Manager is a managed Terraform service that automates infrastructure deployment and configuration change auditing and generates IaC from existing environments.

Consistent data

Simplify application development and operations with distributed transactions.

• Help ensure consistency across polyglot microservices deployed in Kubernetes and/or other environments with MicroTx.
• Get sample code at GitHub.

Low code

Quickly extend enterprise applications, add new application interfaces, and build secure web and database GUI apps.

• Build new standalone cloud and mobile apps: turn a spreadsheet into an app, create forms, share data, or even build a COVID-19 health tracker for clinical trials with Oracle APEX.
• Customize and extend Oracle SaaS and on-premises applications as well as build new applications with Oracle Visual Builder Studio.

Integrated ecosystem

Connect the tools, frameworks, and technologies you’re already using: GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Ansible, Rancher, EFK, Spinnaker, VMware Tanzu, Azure, Pulumi, and many others.

• Reference architectures, operators, and code samples will get you up and running quickly.

Containers and Functions

Kubernetes

Instantly launch Kubernetes clusters with customizable and serverless management options by using OCI Kubernetes Engine.

• Fully conformant with open source upstream Kubernetes, so you can use ecosystem solutions and tools.
• One-click cluster creation includes the underlying virtual networks, internet gateways, and NAT gateways.
• Virtual nodes enable a serverless experience.
• Integrated with other OCI services, such as OCI Container Registry, DevOps CI/CD, networking, storage, and more.

Containers

Instantly run containers without managing any servers and use the built-in container registry to collaborate and scale.

• For containerized applications that don’t require container orchestration, OCI Container Instances instantly run containers without any infrastructure.
• Container Instance CPU and memory resources are priced the same as "regular" Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Registry (OCIR) can store, manage, scan, sign, and share container images with a familiar Docker CLI and API interface.

Functions

Create, run, and scale event-driven applications without managing any infrastructure using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Functions, which is based on the open source Fn Project.

• Predictable low latencies with provisioned concurrencies.
• Port functions to other cloud and on-premises Fn Project environments.
• Integrated with every OCI trigger: events, API Gateway, Oracle Applications, Visual Builder Studio, DevOps, and more.

APIs and Messaging

Build and operate APIs

Prototype, test, validate, secure, operate, and even monetize your APIs.

• API Gateway is a managed and highly available API frontend gateway for deploying, operating, securing, and monetizing API services.
• Serverless APIs eliminate the need for infrastructure operations or overprovisioning by building an API with serverless functions as a back end and an API gateway providing front-end access to those functions.
• Design and publish APIs by prototyping, developing, testing, and validating APIs based on the OpenAPI framework. Securely expose and monitor them via API Gateway.

Messaging

Adopt scalable and reliable messaging between microservices.

• Streaming provides real-time, serverless, Kafka-compatible event streaming for developers and data scientists. Pay as you go with zero-cost data movement between cloud services.
• Queue is serverless messaging service for secure, elastic asynchronous messaging with guaranteed delivery.
• Email Delivery provides customers the tools necessary to quickly and reliably send application-generated email for mission-critical communications.

Databases

Databases

For any type of data and data relationship, there is an Oracle Database solution as well as support for open source databases.

• HeatWave MySQL improves MySQL query performance by orders of magnitude. Available on OCI, Azure, and AWS.
• NoSQL Database is a fully managed, serverless NoSQL database service.
• Oracle Autonomous Database is ideal for building SQL, document, or graph-based applications on a single converged database.
• Non-Oracle databases, including Cassandra, PostgreSQL, and Redis, run on OCI.
