I'm finally finding more time, post-conference, to catch up on my writing. In this latest post, I'd like to talk about a presentation that I did at Kscope23, "Solving Everyday Problems with the Oracle Cloud".

In case you missed it, Oracle recently announced the availability of a new feature for the Autonomous Database (ADB) that allows developers and database administrators to send messages using either emails, Slack, or Microsoft Teams (Teams). At Insum, we use teams for internal communications and collaboration, and thus, you can appreciate my excitement when I heard about this feature release. Here's an early guide to getting started with DBMS_CLOUD_NOTIFICATION for those using Teams at their organisation.
