May 2025 showcases Oracle’s deepening commitment to intelligent, modular, and cost-aware integration solutions. With a strong focus on AI, developer extensibility, and FinOps, this month’s blog content empowers teams to work smarter—while staying aligned with best practices in automation, optimization, and strategic architecture.
Leading the conversation is Oracle’s official AI strategy for Integration Cloud, accompanied by the 25.04 release that introduces enhancements like AI document understanding, object storage actions, and new file server capabilities. Amy Simpson-Grange and the Oracle Integration Team break down these new features, offering practical examples to get started.
From the A-Team and Niall Commiskey, we see powerful use cases for invoking OCI GenAI agents, language services, and transforming flat JSON payloads into hierarchical data structures—enabling richer automation and smarter data flows. The A-Team also explores Fusion Apps divestiture strategies and jumpstarting serverless with Cloud Shell.
Cost optimization takes the spotlight with a dedicated FinOps recipe to detect and reduce underutilized Oracle Cloud resources—an increasingly critical initiative in cloud-native IT strategies.
Rounding out the month, TechSupper and Soalicious share tutorials on exporting Visual Builder integrations, managing new Gen3 file server actions, and configuring AI engines with minimal code.
