The initial steps are grouped inside a request pipeline; the message then goes through a route to the provider, and the final processing is done by a response pipeline before sending it back to the caller: Usual structure of an...

In previous posts we discussed how Microservice applications can be implemented, combined and monitored in Oracle Application Container Cloud service.
