Oracle APEX: Low-Code Delivery on the Oracle Database
Oracle APEX builds enterprise web apps directly on the Oracle Database — at a fraction of traditional cost, and included with every Oracle Database licence. This is what we have learned delivering it: real costs, Forms migration, the new AI features, and the applications teams actually ship.
Overview
Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a low-code platform that runs inside the Oracle Database. Because it is included at no extra licence cost with the database you already run — and free on Oracle Autonomous Database and the Always Free tier — it changes the economics of the internal tools, portals and departmental applications that would otherwise be quoted as full custom builds.
Its biggest enterprise use is modernisation: moving ageing Oracle Forms and Reports estates to responsive, browser- and mobile-ready APEX applications without abandoning the data model or the business logic those systems encode. Recent releases add generative-AI features — an AI assistant and AI-driven components — that speed up both development and the applications themselves.
The articles below cover the parts that decide a project: what APEX really costs, how a Forms-to-APEX migration is scoped and priced, the AI features in current APEX, and examples of production applications built on the platform.
