Moving On-Premises Oracle Apex application to OCI Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing

Oracle Apex is now available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and is very easy to set up by itself. I will explain the various steps in the following blogs.

As we progress, I will also document the process to migrate an application I have which is currently on a compute node in AWS.

The current architecture is as follows:
AWS - EC2 compute node with AWS Linux
Oracle 11g XE
APEX 18.1

My goal is to migrate the application on this server to OCI cloud Autonomous database.

Oracle is promising the following 'Always Free Tier'
New Always Free Services you can use for an unlimited time.

• Two Oracle Autonomous Databases with powerful tools like Oracle Application Express (APEX) and Oracle SQL Developer
• Two Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute VMs; Block, Object, and Archive Storage; Load Balancer and data egress; Monitoring and Notifications
• Object Storage: You can use 10 GiB of Object Storage and 10 GiB of Archive Storage for free in your home region.

We plan to take benefit of the Oracle Autonomous Database instance and provision APEX on it to migrate our application.

So here is your link to signup:
Sign Up for Oracle Cloud

It will need your credit card so be prepared to provide that. Oracle does not charge anything 'just yet'.

Let's come back when you have signed up so we can follow through creating our database instance.
