An Introduction to Container Management, Kubernetes, and Stateful Apps

Containers are essential enablers for distributed applications following a micro-service pattern. A container is an easy, convenient, and safe way for developers to package their applications. Most importantly the risk of breaking other application’s software and library dependencies is greatly reduced by these self-contained artifacts compared to traditional “app-server” deployments using virtual machines. This is especially true if the container runs a stateless application! The talk features an overview of container technology for Oracle database professionals. It starts with an introduction of running containers locally on a development machine before focusing on more advanced topics. Since running individual containers is complicated container orchestration frameworks have been developed. Today’s best-known container orchestration framework is Kubernetes. Attendees can learn more about this important platform in the second half of the presentation. Many introductory talks on the subject don’t address a very important piece of the landscape: the persistent data store required for any stateful application. There are many ways of using the Oracle database in such application deployments, and attendees can learn about the most common ones in this presentation.

APEX Application lifecycle with feature based deployment

APEX application deployment is mostly done by exporting the application and importing it into the target environment. But what if your team continuously develops (as they should), where do you stop developing to start preparing your release-deployment? You should be able to deploy based on features; without your developers having to halt their development. Using the deployment-method explained in this presentation you will be able to do just that. The method includes things like Code versioning (GIT), Feature-tickets (Jira), Code Review (Quality), Automated Deployment using Jenkins and Flyway. When implemented you will be able to successfully and predictively deploy your APEX applications (including underlying database objects) to the different deployment-environments. With a few modifications you can even upgrade the methodology to be a ""continuous delivery"" methodology.

Real life ORDS; REST in pieces

ORDS plays an important role in the APEX architecture. Next to the database and the browser it is a key component to run any APEX application. But on top of "just" running your APEX application, it also opens up the possibilities of using all kind of RESTful services and features to enhance your application with data that comes from or is send to other sources. This session will cover a number of examples that we created in order to build the application landscape we have today.

Cookie Cutter APEX Applications

In a perfect world your APEX SAAS solution would be deployed with a click of a button, have a separate database for each customer, and can a customer choose when they want to upgrade to the next version. In this perfect world, the customer don't have to worry about default lookup data, because the SAAS provider does that. This perfect world can be created with Application Containers and Oracle APEX. In this session you will learn the basics of Application Containers, how data is shared and separated in each container and how a new version is rolled out.
