Databases are traditionally roadblocks to application development. Data refreshes are time-consuming and require downtime and coordination across teams. Legacy environments must balance the risk of stale data against the time, effort, and inconvenience of reverting databases to baselines. Even modern agile shops struggle with this task, engineering complex processes or investing in complex solutions for data management. The primary obstacle? The way traditional databases merge software, configuration, and data, creating a bottleneck around niche skills unique to database administrators.
Organizations eliminate that dependency by shifting to a container model and delivering Data as Code. Containers separate database software from its data. Decoupling data eliminates the need for specialized skills, making it another artifact in the development lifecycle. Individuals and teams can create and refresh data on-demand, version it alongside application code, and distribute it as code or objects. Data as Code reduces uncertainty introduced by data drift and allows organizations to experience greater development velocity, consistent and reliable testing, and improved application quality!

Oracle’s ability to leverage AI and Machine Learning (ML) from within Oracle Machine Learning (OML), OAC, SaaS or using their recent acquisition GUI is flexible. Oracle products will all start to leverage AI/ML! Knowing when/where to leverage these advancements may be the difference between success & failure in the future. We'll look at the latest technology and algorithms that Oracle provides as part of the product, but also the Cx products that are used to leverage AI/ML & Chatbots. We will explore how to leverage and integrate AI into your companies tech plan. We'll see the state of AI & ML and how you can test and use this technology to create the future. We’ll also look at the current Acceleration of the Cloud with the Big Data Revolution & Internet of Things (IOT) which will drive the Cloud even Faster. You'll see how to innovate better using leading edge Oracle products.

APEX is an amazing tool to rapidly develop and deliver applications and most client’s love to analyze their data.

What if we can merge both approaches on a single app, that is easy to use and understand to enable normal users and power users to play with their data?

This session will cover the basics on how to develop an application to serve data extracts as CSV or Excel files, store reports, manage reports, download reports and manipulate data sets in order to fulfill client’s needs.
