Explanation

The term that describes developing microservices in different languages of choice is "Polyglot." In a polyglot architecture, each microservice is developed using the most appropriate programming language or technology stack for its specific requirements. This approach allows developers to leverage the strengths of different languages and frameworks, enabling them to use the most suitable tool for each microservice while still maintaining interoperability between services.

When configuring an OCI API Gateway deployment, you need to specify the backend type for each route in your API deployment specification3. The backend type determines how the API gateway handles requests to that route and forwards them to the appropriate backend service3. The following backend types are valid options for an OCI API Gateway deployment3:

• HTTP_BACKEND: The API gateway forwards requests to an HTTP or HTTPS URL as the backend service.
• ORACLE_FUNCTIONS_BACKEND: The API gateway invokes an Oracle Functions function as the backend service.
• STOCK_RESPONSE_BACKEND: The API gateway returns a stock response without invoking any backend service. ORACLE STREAMS_BACKEND is not a valid backend type for an OCI API Gateway deployment. Oracle Streams is a fully managed, scalable, and durable messaging service that you can use to ingest and consume large amounts of data in real-time4. However, Oracle Streams is not supported as a backend service for an OCI API Gateway deployment.

Explanation

The correct command to rebuild the API docker image and tag it as OCIdevops/api:latest is: docker build -t OCIdevops/api:latest The docker build command is used to build a Docker image from a Dockerfile. The -t flag is used to specify the name and optionally a tag for the image. In this case, the name of the image is OCIdevops/api and the tag is latest. By running this command, the Docker image will be recreated based on the instructions in the Dockerfile and tagged with the specified name and tag.
