Feature Request: Support for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Data Integration Service

[greemaltend4]

Overview

As Oracle continues to enhance its cloud offerings, integrating the OCI Data Integration Service into Spring Cloud Oracle could greatly benefit users looking to establish data pipelines and transform data across different Oracle services and third-party systems.

Proposal

I would like to propose adding support for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Data Integration Service within the Spring Cloud Oracle framework. This feature would allow developers to easily create and manage data flow jobs using the Spring programming model, enabling a seamless integration experience within their Spring applications.

Benefits

• Simplified Integration: Leverage familiar Spring idioms for managing data integration workflows.
• Increased Flexibility: Provide developers with the ability to orchestrate complex data movements and transformations directly within Spring applications.
• Enhanced Productivity: Reduce boilerplate code and setup time by providing a pre-built configuration and starter for OCI Data Integration.

Implementation Suggestions

• Create a new Spring Boot starter for OCI Data Integration.
• Provide sample projects demonstrating the integration with both Oracle and non-Oracle databases using the Data Integration Service.
• Document the usage of this new feature in the main README and provide a dedicated section in the documentation for the new service.

This addition would complement the existing features and extend the capabilities of Spring Cloud Oracle, making it even more valuable for developers actively working within the Oracle ecosystem.
