 Many Oracle customers make extensive use of Spring in their environments. They use Oracle Database and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services. Oracle Database is available in OCI, Azure, GCP and AWS, making it truly a multi-cloud database, and on-premises including in containers and Kubernetes. Oracle is trusted by many of the world’s top businesses, governments and other organizations to protect their most sensitive data.

 Spring Cloud Oracle goes beyond simply wrapping the OCI APIs in starters and adds idiomatic ways to integrate with Spring including for example the ability to use OCI Vault as a Spring Property Source and OCI Object Storage as a Spring Resource provider. We also provide Spring CLI integration with a project catalog to help you create Spring Boot projects using Oracle.
