# OCI Service: Autonomous Database Serverless (ADB-S)
# Last verified: 2026-04
service:
name: "Autonomous AI Database Serverless (ADB-S)"
id: adb_serverless
category: database
color: "#AA643B"
features:
auto_scaling: true
auto_indexing: true
auto_tuning: true
auto_patching: true
transparent_application_continuity: true
autonomous_data_guard: true
private_endpoints: true
byol_eligible: true
ha_dr_options:
local_ha: "Built-in TAC (Transparent Application Continuity) — ~0 perceived RTO"
same_region_adg: "Autonomous Data Guard standby — synchronous, RPO 0"
cross_region_adg: "Cross-region ADG — asynchronous only, RPO seconds (switchover RPO 0, manual failover RPO up to 1 min), RTO < 10 min"
cross_region_auto_failover: "NOT available — cross-region requires manual switchover/failover only"
limits:
max_ecpu: 512
max_ocpu_legacy: 128
max_storage_tb: 384
max_auto_scale: "3x base ECPUs"
auto_scale_activation: "2-3 minutes"
min_ecpu: 2
min_storage_tb: 1
notes: "ECPU is now the default billing unit. 4 ECPUs ≈ 1 OCPU. OCPU billing is legacy."
variants:
- id: adb_s
name: "Autonomous AI Database Serverless (ADB-S)"
description: "Shared Exadata infrastructure, fully managed, auto-scaling"
workload_types:
- "Autonomous AI Transaction Processing (TP) - app-facing OLTP and mixed workloads on local database-managed data"
- "Autonomous AI Lakehouse - SQL across database-local plus external/open-format data (Object Storage, Iceberg, federated catalogs)"
- "Autonomous JSON Database - document-centric JSON development pattern"
- "APEX Application Development - low-code application development"
workload_notes:
- "Since October 2025 Oracle documentation uses Autonomous AI Database naming for workload types."
- "Lakehouse is not a separate database engine; it is a workload specialization with an explicit external-data plane."
- "Lakehouse now also exposes TP and TPURGENT predefined service names, so do not assume warehouse-only service semantics."
- id: adb_d
name: "Autonomous Database on Dedicated Exadata (ADB-D)"
description: "Dedicated Exadata infrastructure, full isolation"
use_when:
- "Strict isolation requirements (regulatory, multi-tenant)"
- "Predictable performance with no noisy-neighbor risk"
- "Need RAC for horizontal compute scaling"
- "> 128 OCPUs sustained"
when_to_use:
- "Oracle Database workloads migrating to cloud"
- "Need automated patching, tuning, and scaling"
- "BYOL opportunity with existing Oracle DB licenses"
- "JSON document workloads (AJD)"
- "Rapid APEX application development"
- "Data warehouse / analytics with auto-scaling"
- "Need Lakehouse-style SQL over Object Storage / Apache Iceberg without copying all data into the database"
when_not_to_use:
- "Non-Oracle database engines (use MySQL HeatWave, PostgreSQL, NoSQL)"
- "Need OS-level access or custom DB home configuration → use DBCS"
- "Need RAC but not ADB-D budget → use ExaCS or DBCS VM"
- "Workloads requiring specific DB patches not yet in ADB"
- "Extreme IOPS requirements > what Exadata provides"
- "Choose TP workload if the dominant path is OLTP write-heavy access on database-local data and external/open-table access is peripheral"
sizing:
adb_s:
min_ecpu: 2
max_ecpu: 512
min_ocpu_legacy: 1
max_ocpu_legacy: 128
auto_scaling: "Up to 3x base ECPUs (takes 2-3 minutes to activate)"
sizing_guidance: "Size base ECPUs for P75 sustained load, not P50. Auto-scaling covers peaks but has activation latency. 4 ECPUs ≈ 1 OCPU."
storage_min_tb: 1
storage_max_tb: 384
iops: "Proportional to OCPU count, Exadata storage servers"
adb_d:
min_ocpu: "2 per VM (minimum 2 VMs for HA)"
max_ocpu: "Per Exadata infrastructure shape"
rac: true
storage: "Exadata storage dependent on infrastructure shape"
gotchas:
- id: adb_s_autoscale_latency
severity: MEDIUM
description: "Auto-scaling activation takes 2-3 minutes. Size base OCPUs for P75, not average."
- id: adb_s_private_endpoint
severity: HIGH
description: "Always use private endpoints for production. Public endpoints allow internet access to the DB listener."
- id: adb_s_service_gateway
severity: MEDIUM
description: "ADB-S requires a Service Gateway in the VCN for automated backups to Object Storage."
- id: adb_s_byol_savings
severity: LOW
description: "BYOL pricing is ~50% cheaper than License Included. Always check if customer has existing Oracle DB licenses."
- id: adb_d_minimum_infra
severity: HIGH
description: "ADB-D requires dedicated Exadata infrastructure — minimum cost is significant. Don't recommend for small workloads."
- id: adb_data_guard_async
severity: MEDIUM
description: "Cross-region Autonomous Data Guard is async only (RPO > 0). For zero RPO, need same-region standby or ADB-D with local Data Guard."
- id: adb_version
severity: LOW
description: "ADB now defaults to Oracle 26ai in all commercial regions. 19c is legacy. Verify customer version requirements."
- id: adb_lakehouse_not_separate_engine
severity: MEDIUM
description: "Lakehouse is a workload specialization inside ADB Serverless, not a separate database engine or separate managed service."
- id: adb_lakehouse_external_data_plane
severity: MEDIUM
description: "Lakehouse value appears when Object Storage / Iceberg / open-format access is structural. If the dataset is fully local and OLTP-dominant, TP is usually the cleaner fit."
- id: adb_lakehouse_iceberg_limits
severity: HIGH
description: "Current Iceberg support has material caveats: no partitioned Iceberg tables, no credential vending, no query-time time travel, and some snapshot/schema changes require recreating the external table."
- id: adb_lakehouse_tp_services
severity: LOW
description: "Lakehouse now supports TP and TPURGENT predefined service names. Do not model it as ADW-style query-only connectivity."
implied_dependencies:
- service: service_gateway
reason: "Required for automated backups to Object Storage"
- service: private_endpoint
reason: "Production workloads must use private endpoints"
- service: oci_vault
reason: "Customer-managed encryption keys (recommended for production)"
- service: data_safe
reason: "Security assessment, audit, and data masking"
competitive:
vs_aws_rds:
advantages:
- "Autonomous operations (auto-patching, auto-tuning, auto-scaling)"
- "Dramatically lower DB licensing cost with BYOL"
- "Exadata performance for Oracle workloads"
disadvantages:
- "No multi-engine support (Oracle only)"
- "Auto-scaling latency vs. Aurora's faster scale-out"
vs_azure_sql:
advantages:
- "Oracle-native features (RAC, Data Guard, Advanced Compression)"
- "BYOL cost advantage"
disadvantages:
- "Azure has broader SQL Server ecosystem integration"
