We are introducing a new blog series that delivers insights and helpful tips for developers to build and deploy cloud apps using Oracle APEX and Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB) on Oracle Cloud. 

APEX on ADB enables you to develop and deploy low-code apps on a preconfigured, fully managed, and secured environment without the hassles of manual upkeep. These services provide everything you need, from database compute and storage to browser-based development tools – all ready to go so you can focus on solving business problems.

With APEX on ADB, you can deploy and scale your low-code apps in 39+ global cloud regions across 21 countries. Your low-code app is supported by world class features and capabilities of ADB including auto-scaling, auto-backups, cloning, auto-upgrades, auto-patching, high availability, security, spatial and graph, IoT event streams, and machine learning.

Running APEX on Oracle Cloud also gives you access to 100+ cloud infrastructure and platform services that can expand the possibilities of your low-code applications. For example, you can deploy a Load Balancer to provide a custom domain name (vanity URL) for your apps, access data in Object Storage, communicate with your customers with Email Delivery, protect your apps with Identity Services, or integrate with our artificial intelligence and machine learning services for image recognition, data science, digital assistants, and more.

In this blog series, you will learn about the powerful features of APEX on ADB and how you can take advantage of all of them.  Below is a list of published and upcoming blogs:
