If you're looking for a managed OpenAI API service, then Azure OpenAI Service is a good choice.
It's fully compatible with OpenAI API, has lots of models to choose from, lots of parameters to configure to suite your needs.
The documents are well maintained, with examples to get started.
You can also setup firewall to restrict access to the API to certain IP addresses, like those of your VPCs.

I believe Oracle Database is still the best RDBMS database which is the database to consider for OLTP applications and for Adhoc requests. They are good in Datawarehousing in certain aspects but not the best. Oracle is also a great database for scaling up with their Clusterware solution which also makes the database highly available with services moving to the live instance without much trouble.

  • Best thing about it is that it supports PL/SQL which is helpful in writing complex quarries easily.
  • Its storage capacity , backup and recovery features make it the best database storage tool available.

Cons
  • More examples would be helpful, especially when it come to token counting & summarizing
  • Pricing is not really straightforward to estimate as it's based on token count
  • Complete privacy requires special agreement with Microsoft

  • New (actually it is more than five years old) multi-tenant architecture is not as straightforward as SQL Server, but it has been enhanced in Oracle 12c Release 2 and later 18c and 19c.
  • Many features require additional licensing (either as options or as packs) that increase the total cost

It is very likely to use this 12c (or next version) of Oracle Database. Nothing close to it in the marketplace in terms of performance, reliability and overall database management efficiency. If Oracle did one thing really good - it is it's OLTP Database I must say.

Usability
Azure OpenAI is easy to deploy, manage and scalable solution for Gen AI application, they have really good SDK to call their APIs securely. anyone with a background in backend engineering can easily use their APIs to make their ideas into reality

Many of the powerful options can be auto-configured but there are still many things to take into account at the moment of installing and configuring an Oracle Database, compared with SQL Server or other databases. At the same time, that extra complexity allows for detailed configuration and guarantees performance, scalability, availability and security.

1. I have very good experience with Oracle Database support team. Oracle support team has pool of talented Oracle Analyst resources in different regions. To name a few regions - EMEA, Asia, USA(EST, MST, PST), Australia. Their support staffs are very supportive, well trained, and customer focused. Whenever I open Oracle Sev1 SR(service request), I always get prompt update on my case timely. 2. Oracle has zoom call and chat session option linked to Oracle SR. Whenever you are in Oracle portal - you can chat with the Oracle Analyst who is working on your case. You can request for Oracle zoom call thru which you can share the your problem server screen in no time. This is very nice as it saves lot of time and energy in case you have to follow up with oracle support for your case. 3.Oracle has excellent knowledge base in which all the customer databases critical problems and their solutions are well documented. It is very easy to follow without consulting to support team at first.

Overall the implementation went very well and after that everything came out as expected - in terms of performance and scalability. People should always install and upgrade a stable version for production with the latest patch set updates, test properly as much as possible, and should have a backup plan if anything unexpected happens

Alternatives Considered
1. Open AI is best at giving accurate answers. 2. It is secure and more trustworthy 3. Most of our client using Azure cloud so it becomes go to choice for them. 4. Scalable as it handles 1000s of request per minute. 5. SDKs are easy to use and well documented.

Oracle Database is among the easiest to integrate with, program against, have a reliable cluster with DR, and has the most understood and well-documented databases. It suits really well if the software shop is primarily Java-based, and deals with large volumes of data with a high degree of diversity among the applications by purpose and use. Paid support is recommended as well as planned periodic patching and upgrades.

Return on Investment
  • Honestly, I just started using it a few months ago, and I haven't seen any major benefits.
  • It has almost similar capabilities as free version of ChatGPT, so it's worth paying for chat models unless we need to use API.
  • ROI has not been impacted at all, as I mostly use free version over this to avoid higher charges.

  • We wasted lots of money (Oracle is crazy expensive), time and effort on the project and were highly relieved when we found a different approach to supporting our aging ERP app that did not include Oracle.
  • Because of the difficulty of using Oracle, we spent a lot of money on consultants to help us over the conversion hump. Also wasted. And it was interesting to see them struggle with the software. Upgrades never went well always requiring multiple site visits, for example.
