Deploy your application to the service	Use the user interface, the REST API, or deploy from Oracle Developer Cloud Service.	To deploy using the REST API, see Create an Application in REST API for Managing Applications. To deploy from Oracle Developer Cloud Service, see Deploying an Application to Oracle Application Container Cloud in Using Oracle Developer Cloud Service. To deploy an application and configure a database in a single step, you can use Oracle Cloud Stack. See Deploy an Application and Configure a Database with Stack Manager.
Connect your application to other Oracle Cloud services.	Use a service binding to connect fromOracle Application Container Cloud Service to Oracle Database Cloud Service, MySQL Cloud Service, Oracle Java Cloud Service, Oracle Event Hub Cloud Service, Oracle Data Hub Cloud Service, or an application cache.	See Managing Service Bindings.
Test your application remotely
Monitor your application by using Java Flight Recorder (Only Java applications)		See Java Mission Control and Java Flight Recorder in Developing for Oracle Application Container Cloud Service.
