Quick to deploy but being deprecated by IBM and should be merged with Kubernetes
We enjoy the fast deployment. Cloud Foundry builds the runtime environment directly without requiring dependency management from the developer or administrator. The autoscaling is great. It is just a switch that needs to be turned on, and autoscaling starts working. At this moment, you begin to see different meters about usage that helps you in updating the scaling limits, which help you tune the running instances. Besides this, autoscaling can be scheduled, so in times of low activity, you can have lower limits or increase in advance for special dates. It has good logging. CF has logging events that help identify when a transaction runs and its response time which helps in monitoring execution.

An easy-to-install tool with good technical support that offers features like map searching and risk management services
The initial setup of Oracle Developer Cloud Service was really easy since it can be done with the request in the cloud, and after that, you can use it directly. I read the initial setup a ten, on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution is deployed on a public cloud. The deployment process took around a year.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Cloud Foundry builds the runtime environment directly without requiring dependency management from the user."
"My favorite component of IBM's solution is Node-RED, which greatly shortens the amount of time required to develop, test, and deploy new applications."
"IBM is the only vendor to offer integration with blockchain for smart contract development."
"With the multi-tenant architecture, you can migrate many databases to one instance. This saves a lot of money and administrative work."
"The APEX solution is the most interesting part of the Oracle Developer Service. APEX is the most cost-effective and most popular service for developers. Kubernetes and Docker services are also important and very much cost-effective, and helpful for developers. If we compare Oracle to other cloud services providers, they'll also be cost-effective. The financial involvement is also a good point because other cloud services charge for Docker and Kubernetes solutions. Oracle's offering is almost free. They only charge for the VM or virtual machine. This is also an interesting part for the developers as well."
"The solution's technical support is really good."
 

Cons

"After the initial excitement period with Node-RED is over, you crave the need of additional integrations to third-party services."
"In IBM Cloud, the product has been deprecated in favor of Kubernetes, which is a more complicated infrastructure to manage."
"Improvements are needed in terms of the usage of the map chart and risk management services."
"Sometimes, I lose the cursor in the editor, and it disappears for no reason. It's hard to guess where I'm in the text, and I feel a bit lost."
"t would be better if the open-source databases were managed. Some managed services for open-source databases are available in other cloud solutions, but Oracle doesn't have any. They should provision more managed services for open-source databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. These types of managed database services should be available in Oracle Cloud Service and others. There are other technical issues like the CDN network that is not directly configured to Oracle and needs support from a third party. There are also some services available in AWS and Azure that should be included in Oracle Cloud Service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You are allocated a minimum amount of resources in the free tier. This seems fair and highly scalable, as you pay per usage as per cloud pricing schemes."
"The pricing models should be reworked to the needs of a wider range of companies. Some customers will not be able to afford it until quite a few years into production, even after good PoC results and a successful launch."
"IBM has a free tier and payment option depending on the products selected."
"Oracle Developer Cloud Service isn't an expensive product. It's definitely cheaper than any other enterprise cloud solution."
"I rate the pricing two on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

Use autoscaling to define the right number of instances. Usually, the cloud providers define a default size for memory or the number of instances. Try to see if you can decrease these numbers so th...

In IBM Cloud, the product has been deprecated in favor of Kubernetes, which is a more complicated infrastructure to manage. CF should be merged with the Kubernetes project. This could benefit both ...
What needs improvement with Oracle Developer Cloud Service?
It's an old tool, and because it's free, there aren't many great changes. I'm fine with the features that are already there. But there is room for improvement in the performance of this product.
