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?

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.
