At my work, we run a number of Oracle databases to power our main application. We currently have no APEX capability.
I have been investigating using APEX as a way of allowing users around the country to get and respond to messages generated by our companies application. This will entail approximately 2500 new messages a month, each with a number of documents attached, which may need downloading.
In addition, we would be using APEX to replace internal spreadsheets, bought SLA management applications, and so on.
The internal applications are not a concern - I believe that everyone is convinced that APEX is very good at running these kinds of things.
However, I have been struggling to find limits on the performance of APEX when running a production environment with external users.
I understand that how our application and database are created will have an enormous impact on the performance, but I have a colleague at work who is using his (three-year old) experience as a guide to say that an APEX application will be always be incredibly slow under a load of twenty concurrent users.
Is there such a limit on performance?
Does it just scale with the hardware?
If we were to create an application, and have it exceed its capacity, is it easy/possible to upgrade the hardware to meet the load?
Thank you for your help.
