In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, business leaders and DevOps engineers are constantly seeking innovative solutions to streamline their operations and stay ahead of the curve. Oracle Backend for Microservices and AI is an innovative platform that addresses the complexities of microservices development while harnessing the power of Generative AI. This comprehensive platform, now available on OCI Cloud Marketplace, offers a unique blend of simplicity, automation, and cutting-edge technology that can transform your organization’s approach to microservices based enterprise application development and deployment.

Tackling Microservices Challenges at Enterprise Scale

The adoption of microservices architecture has become increasingly popular, but it comes with its own set of challenges. Organizations often struggle with securing REST endpoints, scaling difficulties, integration complexities, data consistency issues, and a shortage of skilled IT professionals. Oracle Backend for Microservices and AI directly addresses these pain points, providing a robust foundation for building and managing microservices-based applications.

Embracing the AI Revolution

Generative AI has rapidly become a must-have technology for forward-thinking businesses. However, many organizations are overwhelmed when it comes to effectively implementing and leveraging this powerful technology. Oracle’s platform includes an AI Microservice Sandbox, enabling teams to experiment, prototype, and optimize and operationalize AI solutions with ease. This feature allows businesses to unlock the full potential of Generative AI without the steep learning curve typically associated with such advanced technologies.

Key Advantages for Business Leaders and DevOps Engineers:

  • Open Standards Compliance: The platform adheres to cloud native standards, ensuring compatibility and interoperability across various environments. This compliance facilitates faster deployment cycles and improved developer productivity.
  • AI Experimentation Made Simple: With the AI Microservice Sandbox, teams can rapidly iterate on AI solutions using Generative AI techniques like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and agents, test different large language models (LLMs), and even generate AI microservice source code automatically source code in Spring AI or Langchain (Python). This feature significantly reduces the time and resources required to develop AI-powered applications.
  • Flexible Data Management: Oracle’s converged database capabilities allow for seamless handling of various data types and workloads. Oracle MicroTx ensures data consistency across microservices developed in popular programming languages and transaction protocols a challenging problem in microservices architectures.
  • Deployment Versatility: Whether you prefer OCI Container Engine For Kubernetes (OKE) or your own Kubernetes cluster, the platform offers deployment options to suit your needs. This flexibility extends to Oracle database licensing models for both License Included (LI) and Bring Your Own License (BYOL).
  • Comprehensive Monitoring: The Service Operations Center provides a unified view of application, infrastructure, and database performance, enabling proactive management and optimization of your entire stack.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Oracle offers the platform at no additional cost to Oracle customers, with charges only applying to the cloud services used. This allows organizations to experiment, adopt and scale their usage according to their needs without incurring unnecessary expenses.
  • Enterprise-Grade Support: Additionally, Oracle Database customers receive enterprise support for the Oracle software components that are part of the platform at no additional cost, ensuring peace of mind and rapid issue resolution. 

Deployment Options that Fit Your Strategy

Oracle Backend for Microservices and AI caters to customers diverse deployment scenarios:

  • Deployable in all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cloud regions through OCI Marketplace
  • Deployable on Azure and on-premises datacenters using Kubernetes.
  • Deployment in AWS and GCP environments are soon to be announced.

Alternatively, customers can choose an “a la carte” deployment option where they can pick and choose the individual components of the platform into their existing environments. The Spring Cloud Oracle project is the home to the very same components that are built into Oracle Backend for Microservices and AI.
