I don't know about you, but I almost always listen to 'Business Radio' when I'm in my truck. I guess that's an advantage of having Sirius Radio.
But as I listen to Maria in the early mornings or Stuart as the markets open, there are invariably advertisements for OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Recently, Oracle announced a new tool, OCI Code Assist, to help developers boost productivity within their software's development lifecycle.
Deployed as a plugin for JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA or Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Oracle Code Assist will provide developers with intelligent suggestions to help them build and optimize applications written in modern programming languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, SuiteScript, Rust, Ruby, Go, PL/SQL, C#, and C.
"These new capabilities turbocharge application development, empowering developers to leverage AI to help reduce the time spent on mundane tasks that are inherent to software development," said Sudha Raghavan, senior vice president of Developer Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Thousands of Oracle engineers are using Oracle Code Assist in their daily work to create boilerplate code, build and run unit tests, generate documentation, and receive answers to coding questions."
Key aspects of Oracle Code Assist include:
- Java optimization: Helps developers build new Java applications and assists in updating legacy applications to enhance application resilience, performance, and security. This is available in the Oracle Code Assist beta.
- NetSuite SuiteScript optimization: Enables developers to build extensions and customizations with NetSuite SuiteScript. Oracle Code Assist is planned to be available to NetSuite customers within the next year.
Numerous Oracle customers are already innovating their application development on OCI.
Nomura Research Institute (NRI), a leading global provider of consulting services and system solutions, relies on OCI and Oracle Alloy to host the managed cloud solutions it provides to hundreds of financial services organizations in Japan.
"At NRI, Java is our programming language of choice for application development, and we have thousands of Java applications in production," said Takahiko Inaba, managing director and head of AI at NRI. "We're looking forward to using Oracle Code Assist and its Java optimization to accelerate our ability to update legacy applications and build new applications faster."
Inworld is a leading games AI platform that allows developers to add gameplay mechanics, AI agents, and dynamic narratives and worlds that evolve with each action. Due to rapid growth, the company needed a way to connect its models to a scalable development, testing, and training backbone.
"Previously, our development teams were spending a lot of resources managing the daily operations necessary for our machine learning models, which include speech recognition, contextual awareness, and speech synthesis. After our demands grew 100x overnight from a viral streamer, we sought a managed solution and migrated to OCI," said Igor Poletaev, vice president of artificial intelligence at Inworld. "We use OCI Kubernetes Engine to orchestrate our GPU workloads, allowing us to sleep well at night. These new capabilities will simplify our work with GPUs, allowing us to train and deploy our AI workloads at scale. Now we think about business problems, not infrastructure problems."
8x8 is a communications solutions provider used by over three million business users at 55,000+ midsize and enterprise organizations. It began utilizing OCI Kubernetes Engine and OCI Functions to manage over 300 Kubernetes microservices. It uses OCI Logging Analytics to get real-time, end-to-end visibility across its cloud-native environment.
"With OCI's global footprint and excellent compute and network performance, we can continuously deliver the best quality of service to our customers worldwide on a single platform," said Mehdi Salour, senior vice president of global network and DevOps at 8x8. "Using OCI Kubernetes Engine and OCI Logging Analytics, we have significantly reduced the daily management complexities for our DevOps teams and enabled them to focus their time on delivering new solutions to enhance our platform."
GeneDx is a pioneering force in medical genetics, offering industry-leading exome and genome testing fueled by one of the world's most extensive rare disease data sets. GeneDx migrated its core platforms to OCI to optimize its cloud infrastructure, which has enabled it to increase efficiency and drive significant cost savings.
"Managing critical pipelines across three different clouds added complexity and increased costs, leading us to consolidate onto OCI," said Neil Davis, head of engineering at GeneDx. "OCI's services map very closely to those used on our previous cloud platforms, providing a straightforward migration path. For most of our Kubernetes services, using OCI Kubernetes Engine was as simple as deploying a Helm chart and switching the DNS. Leveraging OCI Kubernetes Engine has helped reduce the operational burden on our development teams, which has allowed them to focus on scaling our operations and enhancing our patient experience."
You may be a small business, a medium-sized company, or even an enterprise organization, and consider yourself fortunate to be using the software you are using in your operation… but more and more of that software is running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) whether you know it or not.
So, you might just be listening to Business Radio one morning and hear your software mentioned "on the radio, the radio, the radio," as the old song goes.
