Application Development
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) application development services enable developers to build, manage, and automate both monolithic and cloud native applications in the globally distributed Oracle Cloud. Customers can migrate application servers such as Oracle WebLogic, modernize apps with containers and Kubernetes, and build new applications with microservices, artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous databases, and much more.
A framework to simplify architectures for application development.
Contributions from the community across a wide range of developer topics.
Virtual and in-person events to exchange ideas and network with the community.
Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice Category Distinction
Oracle received the Customers’ Choice rating in the 2022 Gartner® Peer Insights™ “Voice of the Customer”: Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms for Oracle APEX.
Oracle has 300+ open source projects on Github.
Why use OCI for application development
-
Ready-to-use AI services
Oracle AI enables developers to add prebuilt models to applications and operations. Data scientists can easily build, train, and deploy models using open source frameworks.
-
Upstream, managed Kubernetes
Oracle cloud services for Kubernetes and Functions allow engineers to easily deploy and manage cloud native workloads. These services are based on open source and open standards for portability of workloads and interoperability with third-party software.
-
CI/CD and automation for faster application delivery
With OCI’s DevOps capabilities, customers can build, test, and deploy applications faster into OCI's high-performance VM, container, functions and bare metal environments. These services and tools provide automation for infrastructure management and software delivery.
-
Low code—eliminate 98% of hand coding1
Low-code tools enable business users and developers to build apps efficiently and solve real business problems. Oracle APEX Applications Development can help customers create enterprise applications 38X faster with 20X less code1.
Application development customer successes
Application Development
Get started quickly with open source–based, cloud native services
Oracle services for containers and serverless help developers build applications using technologies, such as Kubernetes, Functions, and API Management for OCI, hybrid cloud, and multicloud environments. With these products, developers can reduce time spent on operational tasks and build applications faster without managing Kubernetes clusters and serverless platforms.
Services
Develop, build, test, and deploy software with tools from OCI and partners
OCI enables automation of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), infrastructure deployment and management, observability, and messaging. Customers can also use popular open source tools, such as Jenkins, GitLab, Terraform, Slack, and Grafana to integrate OCI with third-party applications.
Products
Services for email delivery, log shipping, alerting, and event streaming
OCI messaging services enable engineers to effectively manage and move data between OCI and third-party services. These services enable log shipping, alerting to email and other message delivery platforms, bulk-email delivery, event streaming that’s Kafka-compatible, and real-time triggering to serverless Functions.
Products
Augment your applications with OCI artificial intelligence services
Oracle AI service is a family of artificial intelligence and machine learning services. Developers can add prebuilt models to applications and operations. Data scientists can build, train, and deploy models with favorite open source frameworks, or benefit from the speed of in-database machine learning.
Products
Increase visibility for OCI, on-premises, and third-party cloud environments
Oracle provides visibility and machine learning–driven actionable insights to ease management across all layers of the stack deployed on any technology, anywhere. A top priority today is increasing automation to drive scale and predictable results. Oracle’s integrated functionality and automation for DevOps monitoring and IT operations management makes it 50% easier1 to prevent and solve IT problems.

Application development patterns and best practices
Design and implement applications using Oracle’s catalog of reference architectures, solution playbooks, and best practices.
Web applications typically contain a front end, which is what users see, and a back end, which has the business logic.
Decouple processing from data producers to efficiently buffer unprocessed messages and provide message durability, processing scalability, and application resiliency.
Build event-driven applications on OCI that subscribe to changes in your cloud resources and events generated by your application.
Low-code platforms can eliminate complexity by dramatically reducing the amount of code that’s maintained.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Vision gives customers the power to easily apply machine learning. It has pretrained models to quickly conduct OCR, image classification, and more.

Kubernetes security: nine features to secure your workloads
Greg Verstraeten, Sr. Principal Product Manager, Oracle
According to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Cloud Native Annual Survey, security remains a top challenge in using and deploying workloads in Kubernetes. Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) provides you with secure and easy-to-use managed Kubernetes clusters.
