Cloud Notifications
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Notifications is a highly available, low-latency publish/subscribe (pub/sub) service that sends alerts and messages to Oracle Functions, email, SMS, and message delivery partners, including Slack, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow. The service integrates with Oracle Identity and Access Management for secure access, and delivers each message, even during traffic bursts.
Explore Notifications
Choice of message delivery platforms
Tight integration with Monitoring
Send Notifications when metrics are breached or a resource becomes unresponsive.
Choice of endpoints from the partner ecosystem
Send messages from Monitoring and Events Service to email, SMS, Slack, PagerDuty, and HTTPs endpoints.
Trigger with Events Service
Notify based on a variety of Events, such as a new file in object storage or a newly provisioned compute instance.
Easily execute serverless applications
Use Notifications to trigger Functions that execute snippets of code. For example, to automatically scale up an Oracle Autonomous Database instance, or change the shape of a compute instance.
Security features
Identity and access controls
Integration with Identity and Access Management provides granular access controls to only specific users in the organization, helping safeguard personal information and prevent malicious activity.
Subscription confirmation
Prevent spam emails. Messages to registered email addresses, phone numbers, and endpoints require an opt-in from those subscribers.
Flexible subscription management
Administrators can control subscriptions through the console, SDK, and Notifications API.
Usability features
Automatic updates
Oracle provides automatic updates for messaging protocols and endpoints so that customers don’t need delve into the details of protocol semantics.
Increase messaging efficiency
Use push-based messaging architecture to easily broadcast messages to thousands of subscribers across various protocols.
Simple pricing
Notifications provides monthly free allocations via Oracle Cloud Free Tier. Beyond the Free Tier, customers pay only for usage based on number of messages delivered.
Reliability
Delivery assurance
Notifications will attempt to deliver all messages at least once, with continual retries for two hours.
Highly available architecture
Notifications can handle bursts in traffic and failures in infrastructure.
Support for cloud native applications
Notifications can deliver any type of payload (XML, JSON, and binary) to various microservices.
