Application Platform

The Application Platform project enables automated testing, scaling, tuning, and failure detection and recovery to help improve application security, reliability, and performance.

Project Overview

Cloud-native application platforms simplify the deployment and operation of applications in the cloud. For developers, these platforms offer out-of-the-box integration with cloud services such as network management, logging and monitoring, and identity management. For operations, they offer built-in support for platform monitoring as well as some support for automated scaling and failover.

The App Platform project aims to develop an application platform built around Oracle’s opinionated view of how cloud-native applications should be architected as well as the technology components used to build them. Besides providing seamless integration with various technologies and services, the platform will offer automated testing, scaling, tuning, and failure detection and recovery to help improve application security, reliability, and performance.

One of the main focuses of the team in the security area is around Software Composition Analysis, with the Application Dependency Management OCI service. Application Dependency Management helps developers detect and automatically remediate security vulnerabilities in their application dependencies.
