Troubleshooting Intermittent Application Latency in OCI

Published January 2, 2025 By Brijesh Gogia

Intermittent latency issues are among the most frustrating problems in cloud environments. They’re hard to reproduce, impact user experience sporadically, and can stem from multiple layers: application logic, infrastructure, network, or external dependencies.

In OCI, effective latency troubleshooting requires visibility across the full stack and a methodical approach to isolate root causes.

This blog breaks down how to systematically troubleshoot intermittent latency in OCI-hosted applications.

Monitoring Resource Health and Performance in OCI

Published November 4, 2024 By Brijesh Gogia

Monitoring is not just about dashboards—it’s about creating a predictable, stable, and visible operating environment. In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), this means not only watching performance metrics but also building automated, proactive alerting mechanisms across compute, network, storage, and databases.

This blog covers the tools OCI provides for resource monitoring, how to set up proactive alerts, and how to design a robust operational monitoring strategy.

OCI Load Balancer vs API Gateway: When to use one over the other?

Published October 5, 2024 By Brijesh Gogia

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers two key networking components that sit in front of your applications—Load Balancer and API Gateway. While they may seem similar at first glance, they serve very different purposes and are optimized for different types of workloads.

This post explains their roles, differences, and when to use each.

ATP vs ADW in Oracle Cloud: Which Autonomous Database Should You Use?

Published September 6, 2024 By Brijesh Gogia

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers two powerful flavors of Autonomous Database: Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) and Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW). Both run on Oracle’s converged database engine, are fully managed, and share the same underlying architecture—but they are optimized for different workloads.

This blog explains the difference between ATP and ADW, how they are tuned under the hood, and when to use one over the other.

Understanding Local Peering vs Remote Peering in OCI

Published August 4, 2024 By Brijesh Gogia

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), it’s common to deploy workloads across multiple VCNs (Virtual Cloud Networks)—for example, separating EBS, ADW, OAC, and 3rd-party services into their own networks. But how do you enable secure communication between them without exposing traffic over the internet?

That’s where Local Peering Gateways (LPG) and Remote Peering Connections (RPC) come into play.

This blog will break down what LPG and RPC are, when to use them, and how they differ.

Choosing Between Bare Metal, VM, and Container Instances in OCI

Published July 30, 2024 By Brijesh Gogia

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides multiple compute options for running your workloads—Bare Metal, Virtual Machines (VMs), and Container Instances. Each type has its own strengths and ideal use cases. Choosing the right option isn’t just about performance—it’s also about how much control you need, your scalability goals, licensing, DevOps maturity, and budget.

This blog breaks down the differences and guides you through when to choose what.
