Software Development Lifecycle with Oracle APEX

The software development lifecycle (SDLC) with Oracle APEX can take many forms. This blog post will give you an overview of four common scenarios. If you are interested to learn the details, I recommend reading the following paper from the APEX team: https://apex.oracle.com/go/lifecycle-technical-paper Author Steve Muench, Version 3.2, June 2025 1. Single environment, single developer In a situation where a single developer works directly against the production environment, the lifecycle couldn’t be simpler. In this scenario, you typically would create a working copy of the app in APEX, make changes, test and merge changes automatically back into the main app. You should regularly backup your app and the database in case you need to restore. This lifecycle is best suited for citizen developers and IT developers creating small and simple non-critical apps used by a few users. 2. Multiple environments, single developer When you’re working alone on different environments like developm...

Want to start developing web applications with Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX)? Make sure you don't reinvent the wheel and adapt good practises from industry experts right from the start. Here are some tips for beginners: 1. If you don't already have Oracle APEX installed, don't install it yourself, but get a free workspace within minutes on apex.oracle.com  to be used for demo purposes. To learn about Oracle APEX in the Oracle Cloud, you can use the always free tier on cloud.oracle.com/free with two databases up to 20 GB database storage each without any cost. For production purposes, we recommend that you pay 115 €/month (as of 20-JAN-2025) for the Oracle APEX Service on the Oracle Cloud. 2. Start making your first apps using one of the Oracle APEX tutorials: Hyand (German):  apex.hyand.com/development  (includes good practises!) Oracle (English):  apex.oracle.com/en/learn/tutorials  ( here is a good overview of these) 3.  Take note ...

Flows for APEX v5.0

-
Image
During the ODTUG Learn From Home Series in May 2020, I announced the general availability of the open source tool Flows for APEX . Flows for APEX lets you model and run process flows in low-code style. It comes as a packaged app, so you just have to import the app and you are good to go. Also, it follows the BPMN 2.0 standard, so you could easily reuse the created flows with BPMN products like Camunda if needed. Since I received many questions about it, I would like to give developers some insight in how to work with it. The most important thing to know is that it was designed to let APEX developers drive the flow by custom PL/SQL, not the other way around. You, as a programmer, decide when a certain step in a flow is achieved by calling the appropriate API. Let us go through a simple example. Let's say, somebody needs to be over 18 years old to get an insurance policy after submitting a form. With Flows for APEX , you would first model this flow (normally you would let the busi...
