Oracle Integration Cloud: Building Integrations That Survive Production · Module 14 · Performance and throughput

Message packs and cost per run

Lesson 141 of 175 · 2 min

Design decisions that change THE BILL. A chatty integration is a LICENSING question as well as a performance one. OIC is licensed on message volume, and that means the shape of a design has a price attached to it. This is the lesson consultants most often skip, and it is the one a client's finance team eventually asks about. THE SAME WORK CAN COST WILDLY DIFFERENT AMOUNTS DEPENDING ON HOW IT IS BUILT. Ten thousand records as ten thousand individual calls consumes on a completely different scale from the same ten thousand in a single batch — which is Lesson 2's decision, arriving with a second, financial reason attached to it. THE PATTERNS THAT COST MOST ARE THE ONES THAT LOOK HARMLESS. A polling integration that runs every five minutes and finds nothing still runs — 288 times a day, forever, mostly for no reason, which is Module 10's argument
