I’ve noticed that Oracle APEX rarely comes up in developer discussions, especially compared to modern frameworks and cloud native stacks.
But in enterprise environments, it seems to handle data heavy applications, internal tools, and workflows surprisingly well, especially when paired with a solid database setup.
From what I’ve seen, it reduces a lot of the overhead you would normally have with full stack development while still being scalable if designed properly.
Curious to hear from others. Are people actually using APEX in production, or is it still considered niche?
Try not to get hired by any large company, otherwise you might find you need to change your mind.
I’ve worked on a handful of large companies that did their damndest to never touch Oracle because of their licensing and reputation.
My organization used Oracle when I started but eventually phased it out. Good move.
I’ve worked in large companies that didn’t use anything oracle, also worked in one that used oracle db and that’s it, I think that oracle is pretty north america specific.
My opinions will not change but i’d work on it for 200k a year
The are plenty of large companies that don’t use oracle.
