Application Container Cloud Service (ACCS): Using the Application Cache from a Spring Boot application

Spring Boot allows you to quickly develop microservices. Application Container Cloud Service (ACCS) allows you to easily host Spring Boot applications. Oracle provides an Application Cache based on Coherence which you can use from applications deployed to ACCS. In order to use the Application Cache from Spring Boot, Oracle provides an open source Java SDK. In this blog post I'll give an example on how you can use the Application Cache from Spring Boot using this SDK. You can find the sample code here.

Getting started with Spring Boot microservices. Why and how.

In order to quickly develop microservices, Spring Boot is a common choice. Why should I be interested in Spring Boot? In this blog post I'll give you some reasons why looking at Spring Boot is interesting and give some samples on how to get started quickly. I'll shortly talk about microservices, move on to Spring Boot and end with Application Container Cloud Service which is an ideal platform to run and manage your Spring Boot applications on. This blog touches many subjects but they fit together nicely. You can view the code of my sample Spring Boot project here. Most of the Spring Boot knowledge has been gained by the following free course by Java Brains.

Application Container Cloud: Node.js hosting with enterprise-grade features

Oracle's Application Container Cloud allows you to run Java SE, Node.js and PHP applications (and more is coming) in a Docker container hosted in the Oracle Public Cloud (OPC). Node.js can crash when applications do strange things. You can think of incorrect error handling, blocking calls or strange memory usage. In order to host Node.js in a manageable, stable and robust way in an enterprise application landscape, certain measures need to be taken. Application Container Cloud provides many of those measures and makes hosting Node.js applications easy. In this blog article I'll describe why you would want to use Oracle Application Container Cloud. I'll illustrate this with examples of my experience with the product.
