About Oracle APEX
Oracle APEX is a low-code development platform that enables you to build scalable, secure enterprise applications with world-class features that can be deployed anywhere.
Oracle APEX provides you with an easy-to-use browser-based environment to load data, manage database objects, develop REST interfaces, and build applications which look and run great on both desktop and mobile devices. You can use Oracle APEX to develop a wide variety of solutions: import spreadsheets and develop a single source of truth in minutes, create compelling data visualizations against your existing data, deploy productivity applications to elegantly solve a business need, or build your next mission-critical data management application.
Oracle APEX embraces SQL. Anything you can express with SQL can be easily employed in an Oracle APEX application. Oracle APEX also embodies low code with powerful data management and data visualization components, as well as responsive development out of the box. Instead of writing code by hand, you are able to use intelligent wizards to guide you through the rapid creation of applications and components.
Oracle APEX on Autonomous Database provides a preconfigured, fully managed and secured environment to both build and deploy world-class data-centric applications. There are no limits on the number of developers or end users for your Oracle APEX applications; Autonomous Database can instantly scale compute and storage online as needed, based upon your workload. Additionally, Oracle APEX applications developed on-premise can be easily deployed to Oracle APEX on Autonomous Database, or vice-versa.
Configuration, patching, monitoring, and upgrading of all Oracle APEX components is fully managed by Oracle, leaving you free to focus on developing your solutions and solving your business problems. With Oracle APEX and low code, your organization can be more agile and develop solutions faster, for less cost, and with greater consistency. You can adapt to changing requirements with ease. And you can empower professional developers and everyone else in your organization to be a part of the solution.
