APEX Limitations for WebApp

Question

Currently, I joined the project, and the client supported by the team gave a mock requirements. In my opinion, these requirements are very demanding on the level of web applications. It should handle daily transactions, update event notifications, etc. I am pursuing the idea of ​​using .NET webapplication. Ideas came up with APEX. I'm not a friend at all. Reading this, I found that it is basically an external Oracle application that runs with Oracle DB. Is the front part limited to html / css modification and only a report is generated? So I really don’t know the real limitations that I would use as a developer using APEX

Answer 1

Have you looked at apex.oracle.com ? A lot of resources to familiarize yourself with the capabilities of Apex.

Apex is a tool for building web applications that run on top of an Oracle database. Since it works using HTML and Javascript, it can do almost anything that can be done with any other web application platform — more or less easily than others, depending on what you want to do.

Your question is rather vague regarding "demanding requirements." Perhaps choose one that you think will be a problem for Apex and describe it in more detail?

Answer 2

I am a supporter of Apex and know little about .Net: but the choice of platform and development architecture should include consideration not only of requirements and capabilities (although this is very important, of course), but also the skills and experience of most developers and system developers.

Apex and .NET do not have such a large number, but if the team does not have experience in Apex, but has experience in .NET, this will be the main factor when choosing .Net.

Other considerations are cost and simplicity. Apex is probably much simpler than .Net (fewer moving parts, tighter database integration) and cheaper (i.e., free with an Oracle license).
