Oracle has announced the beta release of Oracle Code Assist, an AI-powered programming assistant optimized for Java and application development on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The tool is available through the Oracle Beta Program and aims to improve development productivity and efficiency. Oracle Code Assist provides intelligent suggestions to help developers build and enhance applications.
It is particularly optimized for Java, making it easier to create new Java applications and update legacy ones. This optimization helps improve both performance and security. While optimized for Java, Oracle Code Assist can work with most modern programming languages.
A notable feature in development is the optimization for NetSuite SuiteScript, which will become available within the next year.
Oracle’s AI-powered development tools
This feature is designed to aid in building NetSuite extensions and customizations.
Oracle Code Assist can be used as a plugin for JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA IDE, providing a seamless integration into the development workflow. In addition to Oracle Code Assist, Oracle announced new features for the OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE). These features are designed to simplify the deployment and management of AI workloads and cloud-native applications.
Key enhancements include support for Ubuntu Linux images, container security enhancements, logging analytics for OKE workloads, and cluster node health checks. The container security updates help developers quickly identify and resolve security issues by extending monitoring capabilities to the container level. The health checks ensure that worker nodes remain healthy and updated.
Oracle’s recent announcements indicate a strong focus on leveraging AI to improve cloud-native application development and management, reflecting broader industry trends.
