Continuous Integration / Delivery / Deployment (CI/CD) Pipeline for Python Microservice Web Applicat

Valentin Leonard Tabacaru -Oracle

All organizations are interested in Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment, to accelerate their DevOps cycles while adopting Agile principles, practices and methodologies. This is the best workshop to learn and understand the basics, a hands-on experience with Oracle Database and Python, on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Access these labs on Oracle Learning Library, or use our easy to navigate HTML format.

Please give us your feedback and comments, on how to improve this scenario.

- Your Dockerfile looks really complex.  Why not use Oracle Linux?  See https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/docker-for-oracle-database-applications-in-nodejs-and-python-part-1 and https://yum.oracle.com/oracle-linux-python.html

- Since this is a web app, you must (to promote best practice) use a cx_Oracle connection pool, see https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/blob/master/samples/ConnectionPool.py

cj, thank you for the suggestions. Both are valid, and will include them in the next version of this workshop.
This time I started with the python docker image, and decided to keep it, for no reason.

Using connection pool is best practice, I agree. It will be added to that lab.
