Introducing Luminaries: Oracle’s official developer community
Think fast: what’s the one thing the internet does well? No, it’s not just that it’s an incredible platform for meme generation (though it’s that too): it’s its ability for people to conveniently find one another.
Great, right? Well, it gets tricky. With so many communities accommodating different types of users, it’s difficult to know where to call home. Is it Discord, Discourse, Twitch, Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Twitter?
That goes double if you’re a developer. Oracle devs, for example, are a diverse group. You may be analyzing OCI dashboards all day, or maybe turning to MySQL for storage solutions. Perhaps you’re mostly about the low-code life and building apps with APEX? There’s a lot there.
To make things even more complicated, with all that diversity comes a dizzying selection of platforms — where do you go to troubleshoot with like-minded developers, find mentors or resources to nail that white board interview, or prepare for your OCI certification?
What we need is a singular developer community.
Enter: Luminaries.
