Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service Valuable Features

I like the low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster. 

Moreover, if you want to achieve more complex scenarios, you can write custom code using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It's very easy to learn, and there are many ready-made or built-in components that you can simply drag and drop to build your own screen in Oracle within hours. That's the most efficient thing.

Secondly, you don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time.

Also, the critical point is scalability. If you have many concurrent users at the same time, you don't need to worry about it. Oracle will handle it. So, you can develop faster, ensure good quality, have good audits and logs, and you don't need an IDE at all. What could be better than that?

As someone with 10+ years of experience, I'm kind of old school, so I don't use drag-and-drop much. I work directly with the source code. But for new developers or fresh grads, it's very helpful. They can just drag and drop components without needing to write lots of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. 

For me, as an old-school guy, I prefer the source code. But the good thing about Visual Builder is that it serves both the old and the new way of doing things.

You can do a lot of stuff with its UI and UX. It's pretty convenient. It's much better than just doing with Angular or React as they don't provide this robust capability for working with lots of stuff regarding UI/UX.

You can do a lot of plumbing code. As it has these JET codebooks, basically a lot of features are already in place. 

You can use plugins on it for Eclipse and you can connect many features within the development environment. You can use GitLab to export almost all in-line path source code. There are no vendor locks in terms of your host's publishing code. You can basically have your entire code on-prem and you can use advanced capabilities to develop your UI/UX and your code and connect to the REST services. You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI.

If companies are involved in a lot of UI/UX and developing backend and cloud enablement it is a good option.

In terms of master builder forms, pop-up forms, this kind of stuff, it's amazing.

The initial setup is easy.

The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components.
