Why Oracle for AppDev
Build faster with AI
- From ideas to apps. Use GenAI services and tools to reduce time spent on routine tasks—or eliminate coding altogether.
- Choose your model. Harness the power of open source or proprietary large language models (LLMs).
Bring AI into your data
- Simplify. Skip multiple single-purpose databases. Instead, use Autonomous Database with AI Vector Search and in-database ML.
- Contextualize. Use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with your own data to extract far more relevant results.
Deploy and scale anywhere
- Your choice. Run open source and cloud native apps with sovereign, dedicated, hybrid, and multicloud resources.
- Your terms. Use Autonomous Database with any hyperscaler plus your own data and apps—wherever they are.

Embracing Open Source to Drive Innovation at Oracle
Vijay Kumar, Vice President, Product Marketing for Application DevelopmentAs we celebrate Kubernetes’ tenth anniversary, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the incredible cloud native community—a great force for innovation. At Oracle, we embrace open source and cloud native technologies to drive innovation within our company and for our customers. We're proud to be part of the open source community through our substantial contributions to the Linux Kernel, Java, and numerous other projects. We designed Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) with openness at its core, building on technologies such as Kubernetes.
