Oracle LiveStacks helps learners explore working, industry-relevant applications before diving into the technologies and architecture behind them. Kevin Lazarz and Matt Howalik explain how LiveStacks combines Oracle LiveLabs with Oracle AI Database 26ai capabilities to connect business outcomes with practical hands-on learning. In this episode of Digital Impact Radio Series 9, Franco Ucci speaks with Kevin Lazarz and Matt Howalik about LiveStacks on Oracle LiveLabs and a new approach to hands-on technology learning. Instead of beginning with individual product features, LiveStacks provides fully configured applications that let learners experience an industry scenario and its business outcomes before exploring how the underlying architecture works. Kevin and Matt explain how LiveStacks complements the hundreds of technical workshops already available through Oracle LiveLabs. Learners can begin with a working application, understand the use case, and then explore the technologies that make it possible. The discussion covers examples including AI lakehouse architectures, real-time data ingestion, change data capture, medallion architecture, vector search, JSON, property graphs, and AI capabilities within Oracle AI Database 26ai. The conversation also explores Select AI, Select AI agents, natural language interaction with data, embedded AI models, and private AI services. Kevin and Matt explain how learners can deploy LiveStacks into their own environments, modify the applications, connect them with AI agents, and then use LiveLabs workshops to understand individual capabilities in greater depth. The result is a practical learning journey that connects real-world applications and business outcomes with the architecture and technologies behind them.
