- Management console for Oracle Java Cloud is integrated with the rest of the IT stack, making it easy to figure out performance bottlenecks in Java applications and Java PaaS.
Cons
- Pricing can certainly be improved as the cost adds up for dev/test environments using the Oracle Java Cloud platform.
- It is hard to customize Oracle Java Cloud for complex Java applications requiring high bandwidth memory and network requirements.
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracle Java Cloud is especially appropriate for moderate to complex Java applications. Due to BYOL licensing, it is also works well when you are planning to do dev and test in-house and then deploy it on Oracle Java Cloud. It is not well suited for simple Java applications due to the cost of Oracle Java Cloud. Simple applications don't need the fully managed aspect of Oracle Java Cloud.
