APEX architectures
Why build yourself? Get Cloudy! (< 10 minutes)
For everybody that don‘t want to setup the APEX environment themselves
(and can live with the fact that their data is residing outside their own network)
Options of hosting services:
§ apex.oracle.com - free, but not for production; limitations like 25 MB storage, no direct
access to DB, no backup
§ Oracle Cloud Free Tier
§ apex.oracle.com/autonomous
§ 2 databases with each 20 GB of uncompressed user data (minus system data)
§ You need to implement a backup plan yourself
§ No activity within 7 days? Your instance will be stopped!
§ See excellent blog post series by Dimitri Gielis for more info: http://bit.ly/apexcloudblogposts
§ Valid alternatives for reliable, hosted APEX environments:
maxapex.com, revion.com, skillbuilders.com, AMI on aws.com, enciva.com
