We're building tools that encompass all aspects of the developer experience. From command line tools written in Java with lots of open source integration to reimagining our most popular tool, SQL Developer into a VSCode/Electron based application with a java server process over https. These tools connect over REST APIs extracting data from SQL databases and other services like our database tools service, which integrates Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. There'll be opportunity to create and deploy services too. Our REST Data Services Tool will be reimagined as a service providing all Cloud users instant access to declarative and customisable REST endpoints for their data in Oracle and MySQL databases. We are always helping our customers adopt Oracle and migrate their existing systems to use it. We create and manage the language parsers for SQL & PL/SQL which are used for Insight and completion in our IDEs like SQLDeveloper. We also create Domain Specific Language parsers and translators to help migrate and transform different flavours to work on Oracle.

Our goals are all about getting access to and providing access to services in the cloud.
