About

Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) is a Java middleware that exposes Oracle Database into RESTful APIs. Instead of connecting through traditional database drivers, it allows applications to interact with the database over HTTP using JSON.

In environments running dozens or hundreds of ORDS instances, maintaining local configuration files becomes complex and error-prone. Recently introduced, the Central Configuration Server is a REST API that serves as a centralized configuration source for ORDS instances, providing a scalable way to deploy, update, and standardize configuration across all instances. By externalizing configuration and enabling stateless deployments, it makes ORDS architectures more resilient, industrialized, and Kubernetes-ready. It also integrates seamlessly with the Oracle Kubernetes Operator for automated lifecycle management.
