High availability, data model flexibility, elastic scalability… If these words have piqued your interest, then this is the episode for you!   Join Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham, along with Autumn Black, as they discuss how Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is designed for today’s most demanding applications, ensuring fast and predictable single-digit millisecond response times at scale, even as throughput requirements change.   Oracle MyLearn: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Ranbir Singh, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   -------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript: 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;38;28 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we’ll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started. Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs.   00;00;39;01 - 00;01;04;26 Hi there! Many of today's modern applications face a lot of different challenges. These could be anything from managing data models that are continuously evolving to providing UIs that are highly responsive. Yeah, and that's because in today's environment, no one wants to go to an interface where they have to wait for minutes or even seconds, really. Exactly. So innovations have to happen rapidly and they have to keep up with the demands of the customer base.   00;01;05;01 - 00;01;27;25 Since we discussed the MySQL database in our last episode, we thought it would only make sense to talk about NoSQL next. And we're very happy to have Oracle Database Specialist Autumn Black joining us again. Hi Autumn. What can you tell us about Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service? The Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service really offers a lot of great properties.   00;01;27;28 - 00;01;53;28 It's serverless, always on, and fully managed by Oracle. Developers can focus on application development without having to worry about managing servers, storage expansion, cluster deployment, software installation, or even backups. It's fully elastic. You just provision the throughput and storage capacity your application requires. Resources are automatically allocated and they scale accordingly to meet the dynamic workload requirements that you have.   00;01;54;01 - 00;02;18;16 The service provides predictable low latency for all types of application workload, whether it's at the peak workload or at a very low level of the workload. The latency is always at sub 10 milliseconds. Flexible data model supports document, columnar, and key value formats to capture any of the kinds of data you may have. These data models can interoperate with each other using a single application interface.   00;02;18;18 - 00;02;49;04 It offers developer-friendly APIs, and it's integrated with popular application development tools. It comes with enterprise-grade security. It's cost-effective. Lastly, and most importantly, it makes hybrid cloud or multi-cloud deployment with Oracle NoSQL Database extremely easy. This enables enterprises to expand their business operations, open up new business potential and opportunities. Autumn, you said Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is fully managed by Oracle.   00;02;49;06 - 00;03;09;17 What does that exactly mean? What are the things that Oracle really handles? Oracle's responsible for the back-end software and hardware. The developer gets to focus on the application and who can use that application. Today's modern developers are not interested in what's going on behind the scenes. They want to be sure that they can
