Hi everyone,
I'm part of the content and research team at The Hashtech, where we regularly explore enterprise application architectures and mobile technologies. While researching Oracle-based backend solutions, I wanted to learn from developers who have hands-on production experience.
For Android applications that use Oracle Database, what architecture do you currently recommend?
Specifically, I'd like to understand:
- Is Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) still the preferred approach, or are custom REST APIs more common?
- What authentication methods have worked best for enterprise mobile applications?
- How do you manage scalability and connection pooling as user traffic increases?
- Have you noticed any performance differences between Oracle Database deployments on-premises and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
- What common mistakes should teams avoid when integrating Oracle Database with Android apps?
We're always interested in learning from experienced Oracle developers and understanding the latest best practices. I appreciate any insights or real-world examples you can share.
Thanks!
