Oracle Autonomous JSON Database

Simple document APIs

Open-source NoSQL-style document APIs enable developers to create JSON-centric applications in minutes without worrying about data models or writing complex code that can takes hours.

Choice of APIs, language, and tools

Accelerate application development in popular programming languages and platforms such as Java, Python, and Node.js with flexibility of REST API, CLI, IDE extensions, and web interface access.

Large Native JSON documents

Supports new native binary JSON document file sizes of up to 32 MB, 2X the size of MongoDB Atlas and is highly optimized for fast reads and partial updates.

Indexing without limitation

Provides no limitation on index key lengths or number of indexes per collection and supports full document indexing.

Full SQL support

Enables developers to analyze JSON data with all the power of standard SQL, including cross-collection queries, parallel scalability, and advanced analytic functions.

1-click conversion to multi-model database

Single-click transformation of an Autonomous JSON Database to an Autonomous Transaction Processing database adds relational data capabilities with no downtime.

No-code/Low-code development

Built-in Oracle APEX, a low code application development platform enables developers to rapidly build JSON-centric applications with 98% less code.

Auto-provisioning

Deploys fault-tolerant and highly available databases in minutes.

Auto-scaling

Scales compute resources automatically without any downtime to meet performance requirements and lower costs with pay-per-use pricing.

Auto-tuning

Configures and tunes databases automatically even as data and schema change over time. The memory configuration, data formats, indexes, and access structures are automatically optimized to improve performance.

Automated backups

Performs weekly full and daily incremental backups of the database in Oracle’s object storage and retains them for up to 60 days to restore and recover to any point in time.

Auto-repairing

Fixes hardware and software faults by continuously monitoring and predicting failures. Read/Write requests are immediately redirected to healthy devices maintaining database performance.

Auto-failover

Eliminates site downtime with one-click using Autonomous Data Guard, by maintaining a real-time remote copy of a production database and automatically switching from primary to remote copy.

2X better performance than MongoDB Atlas

Get up to 2X throughput on the industry standard YCSB benchmark compared to MongoDB Atlas.

Transactional consistency

ACID transactions and read consistency on multi-document and multi-collection operations ensures consistency without degrading performance.

Native Binary JSON representation

A new native binary JSON format (OSON) increases performance with fast linear scans and partial updates, while offering 2.7X the document size compression compared to MongoDB BSON and 3X compression compared to JSON.

Runs on Oracle Exadata hardware

Oracle Exadata’s scale-out architecture delivers high performance, scale, and availability for your database. JSON support is integrated into Oracle Exadata to significantly speedup JSON processing.

Always-on encryption

Automatic encryption of the entire database and backups with customer-created and owned encryption keys protects at-rest and in-motion data.

Automated patching

Database patches and upgrades are automatically applied without interrupting database operations to maximize security for crucial customer data.

Security of sensitive data

Oracle Data Safe, included with Autonomous JSON Database, makes it easy to discover sensitive data, evaluate security risks, mask sensitive data, and implement and monitor security controls.

Pay-per-use

Elastic scaling of compute and storage resources independently without downtime, combined with per-second billing creates a pay-per-use pricing model.

75% lower price

Autonomous JSON Database is priced at less than 25% of Oracle’s full-fledged Autonomous Transaction Processing Database to reduce costs in dedicated customer environments.

Low cost

30% lower pricing than comparable MongoDB Atlas service for the same memory, CPU and storage reduces customer cost.
