The advent of cloud computing has reinvented application development 
for many companies. “That’s the beauty of the cloud,” says Cameron 
Purdy, vice president of development, Oracle. “It dramatically improves 
developer productivity because they can do what they do best without 
having to manage complex development, testing, staging, and production 
environments.” The key is to find a platform that doesn’t impose proprietary restrictions or force developers to learn new tools. For example, Oracle Java Cloud Service
 is an enterprise-grade platform as a service for building and deploying
 Java EE, Oracle WebLogic Server, and Oracle Application Development 
Framework (Oracle ADF) applications. “It’s designed to be flexible 
and easy to use,” says Purdy. “And it is also a standards-based solution
 -it’s not proprietary and there is no cloud lock-in. Developers get 
instant access to an enterprise-grade environment for a simple, monthly 
subscription.” Oracle Java Cloud Service instances are created with 
just a few clicks, so businesses can create a rich application 
development environment within minutes. Running on Oracle WebLogic 
Server and Oracle Exalogic, the underlying infrastructure also leverages
 Oracle Fusion Middleware’s integration with common services. For 
example, instances come integrated and preconfigured with optimized 
Oracle Database and Oracle Identity Management configurations. Based on 
Oracle Enterprise Manager, the Oracle Java Cloud Service console lets 
customers easily manage and monitor their Oracle Java Cloud Service 
instances. The open nature of the Oracle Java Cloud Service lets 
developers integrate through Web services such as SOAP and REST APIs, as
 well as use their favorite developer tools, whether they are 
out-of-the-box tools such as Maven and Ant or the productivity features 
built into Oracle JDeveloper, Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, or 
NetBeans IDE. The service allows for the seamless movement of 
applications between on-premise Oracle WebLogic Server domains and 
instances of Oracle Java Cloud Service within Oracle Cloud. This 
approach allows flexibility to mix and match the use of on-premise 
environments with cloud instances for development, test, and production 
environments. Visit to learn more and watch videos about Oracle Java Cloud Service.
