About Technology-Based Message Transmission

Follow these guidelines for transmitting messages using a particular technology for each use case.

Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Queue when:

• Messages only need to go to one consumer
• Guaranteed message ordering is not a critical requirement
• Messages are less than 256 KB in size

Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming when:

• Multiple endpoints must read the same message
• Messages must be replicated across regions
• A fully managed Kafka-compliant solution is required
• Messages are greater than 256 KB in size

Use Oracle Integration when:

• Intelligent routing of messages is required
• A separate integration UI from the core OCI Console is required
• Message volumes are large
• Systems orchestration integration also exists

Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Notifications when:

• Volumes are low with small payloads
• Consumption may include human actors
• Messages originate from parts of OCI

Use Oracle Database when:

• Creating or using Oracle database-centric applications
• Control is needed over persistence
• Development processes favor the use of database technologies
