Future-Ready Apps: Moving from Oracle ADF to Oracle APEX
Many businesses still rely on Oracle ADF and WebLogic to run their custom applications. But with rising license costs, complex maintenance, and slower development cycles, it’s becoming harder to justify the effort and expenses.
At Innovage Cloud, we’re seeing more businesses switch to Oracle APEX — a faster, low-code alternative that’s easier to manage and far more cost-effective. It eliminates the need for a heavy Java stack and the overhead of WebLogic.
What We’re Hearing from Businesses Still Using ADF
- Complex setup: ADF applications require a lot of infrastructure and Java expertise.
- High costs: WebLogic licenses are expensive for enterprise use.
- Outdated UI: Doesn’t work well on mobile or modern devices.
- Slow updates: New features take too long to implement.
- Talent shortage: Hard to find experienced ADF developers.
Why Oracle APEX is Gaining Momentum
⚡ Lightning-Fast Development
Build and deploy applications in days or weeks, not months.
💰 Cost-Effective
No WebLogic needed — APEX runs directly on Oracle Database or ATP.
📉 Lower Skill Barrier
Developers only need SQL and PL/SQL — no Java required.
🎨 Modern UI
Redwood theme, responsive layouts, and mobile-friendly by default.
🔐 Built-in Security
APEX uses Oracle DB’s SSO and role-based access controls.
🛠️ Easy Maintenance
Fewer components = simpler CI/CD and app lifecycle management.
