Next Step In the eventual destination of this journey we are looking to demonstrate cloud native capabilities, elastic load handling, zero downtime operations, agile application updates, dynamic feature testing capability etc. In Part 1 we saw how to take an example application that has been packaged in a docker image, customize it slightly and put the customized image up on an OCI Registry.The next step here in Part 2 we'll look at elastic load handling. The load we are...

Oracle recently introduced a Web Application Firewall (WAF) service to further enhance and secure its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offerings. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure WAF is based on Oracle Zenedge and Oracle Dyn technologies. It inspects all traffic destined to your web application origin and identifies and blocks all malicious traffic. WAF offers the following tools, which can be used on any website, regardless of where it is being hosted: Origin management. Bot...

Introduction Lift and shift of Oracle Applications from on premise to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure requires careful planning and enterprises want the same or higher level of security when moving their workloads to the cloud. OCI provides a number of features for securing application deployments/network and administrative access to these deployments. Check out the OCI security best practices white paper available here...

Performance Tips In this last blog post we explore one of the most important topics of any project which is performance. It is also worth highlighting that performance is an iterative process where the first data point you must define is the performance goal. Once you have the performance goal defined you can then start to benchmark your performance baseline (ie what its like at this point in time), After this you can proceed to tweak your code, then benchmark the result at...

When building a VBCS application you will almost always be connecting to a data source and one question you will almost certainly ask yourself is ” do I need a middle tier to access the data source, SaaS in our case has APIs, or can I, should I go directly?” The answer to the question depends on many factors: Does the SaaS Service expose a REST API? Does the REST API meet your needs? Does the REST API support data security so that if a user bypassed the webUI no harm would be...

VBCS strictly speaking only supports REST APIs so accessing the database via SQL*Net is not possible. To access the data in the Database from VBCS you will need to create a REST Façade to access your data in the database. To achieve this we we have a number of options available to us including : Oracle REST Data Service (ORDS) A 3GL facade using Java, JavaScript etc Oracle Integration Cloud 1. Oracle REST Data Service (ORDS) This is a nice and easy REST data service which...

In this second part of this blog series we explore some of the patterns we have seen in getting data into Oracle VBCS. Oracle VBCS strictly speaking consumes REST APIs and our Fusion SaaS also supports REST APIs but sometimes we either don’t have access to the REST APIs (e.g because they don’t exist, because they don’t exist or are performance constrained). Depending on the usecase at hand you can choose to either query the data directly or via some of the many bulk apis...

Part one starts with looking at some of the user interface, as developers we not always gifted with good UI skills but that can be sorted by using a design agency to tweak/build the CSS files. A good UI is incredibly important for many reasons, the speed a user can do their job and performance of the screen itself. Sometimes the backend systems performance is finite and we cant get around the fact that the queries will take say 5-6 seconds, but with smart screen design we can...

Introduction This article is a high level “architect” style series of 6 themes where we expose and discuss some of the best practices one should adopt when extending Oracle SaaS with Oracle VBCS. The article is rich with links to other Oracle blog articles and will be followed by a number of shorter and more detailed focused articles on technicalities of using VBCS for extending Oracle SaaS. When choosing a technology to implement UI extensions for SaaS we are blessed with a...
