Oracle APEX on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Interestingly, Oracle today is making its popular APEX low-code development platform available as a managed cloud service that developers can use to build data-driven enterprise applications quickly and easily.
- Expands on two decades of APEX functionality already used by 500,000 developers as an easy-to-use, browser-based service for creating modern Web and mobile apps.
- While the original APEX platform was only available as part of the Oracle Database, APEX Application Development is available as a standalone service and works with a variety of applications.
- Running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the service starts at $360 per month, providing support for more than 500 users and unlimited applications, and elastically scales as additional capacity is needed.
- A recent study from Pique Solutions showed that developers could build enterprise applications 38x faster with the Oracle APEX service without having to learn complex, full-stack technologies.
- The Oracle APEX architecture provides extremely tight integration with the database, enabling a 10x reduction in round trips between the application and the database, resulting in much faster response times for end-users of data-driven applications. Additionally, APEX allows application developers to fully exploit the power and simplicity of SQL.
Oracle APEX Application Development – Comprehensive Low Code Platform
Oracle APEX Application Development – Framework
Used to build desktop and mobile applications for the Oracle Database. Oracle APEX enables you to design, develop and deploy beautiful, responsive, database-driven applications, either on-premises or in the cloud.
- Quickly build reports, forms, charts, calendars, etc. on top of the data in your database
- IT Developers and “citizen-developers” who know a little SQL can readily build applications.
- Oracle APEX can also take advantage of the large majority of Oracle Database features.
Oracle APEX Application Development – Characteristics
The beauty of APEX is that it doesn’t require any client software, is a meta-data model execution engine and easier to maintain in contrast to code generation, and is one of the most efficient execution engine on the planet for Oracle databases.
With a web browser, you can do everything you need to create apps:
- Model database objects
- Load/unload data
- Create REST interfaces on this data
- Build applications on these database objects
- Run and deploy applications
