Speech
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) and highly accurate transcription of audio/video files across languages.
Vision
Computer vision to detect visual anomalies, automatically classify images, extract text from docs, and more.
Document Understanding
Extracts text, tables, and other key data from document files to automate tedious business processing tasks with prebuilt AI models to fit industry-specific needs.
Everything you need for modern services communication
Create, consume, secure, and manage the lifecycle of everything required for microservices to communicate with each other.
API Management
A managed, high availability API frontend gateway for deploying, operating, securing, and monetizing API services.
Serverless APIs
OCI Functions triggered on demand to connect to APIs, eliminating the need for infrastructure operations or over-provisioning.
Events
CloudEvents-compatible service that tracks resource changes to trigger functions, write to streams, or send email, SMS, or other webhooks notifications.
Notifications
High availability, low-latency publish/subscribe service that sends alerts and messages to OCI Functions, email, SMS, and message delivery partners, including Slack, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow.
Streaming with Kafka
Real-time, serverless, Kafka-compatible event streaming for developers and data scientists with pay-as-you-go pricing and zero-cost data movement between cloud services.
Queue
A serverless messaging service for securely autoscaling asynchronous, guaranteed message delivery; sends and receives messages using REST and STOMP endpoints.
From dev to production: DevOps, CI/CD, and application development
Plug in and run whatever you need with full support for open source, third-party technologies, and ecosystem tools.
