Software Developer at CognitiveScale
Rapid deployment has simplified backend work and supports independent database management
We did not use the replication or inbuilt replication from Oracle Java DB. We have separate core functions to replicate the database and migrate the database. We are not using the inbuilt encryption of Oracle Java DB. We are using encryptions such as AES. We are currently using these to encrypt the sensitive data. We encrypt not only passwords but mostly all the data.
RS
Director at Adamos Tecnologia
Efficiently manages extensive datasets with rapid connections and wide tool support
Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to manage and install. It does not require a DBA for management. The connections are very fast and it supports several thousand users simultaneously without any issues. New connections do not hang server operations. As soon as new releases are put out, they work as expected. Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is supported by every vendor and tool, including architectural, integration, and generation tools, offering wide protocol support. This makes Oracle MySQL Cloud Service a valuable solution.
