Joel R. Kallman posted on 2014 about sizing for performance for APEX. Finally...the official sizing guide for Oracle Application Express , he also referenced another post for his manager Mike Hichwa  Sizing Up Performance .

Using APEX as a front end framework and communicate with the backend via RESTful services will be very useful when you have your backend setup and don't have a choice to use Oracle as database. The following post is a great help in doing so. ORACLE APEX with MySQL !

As I stated before, I will use my blog mainly to reference others just for documentation and ease of reference. Here is another blog to use TDE with APEX. Protect Your Data with Transparent Data Encryption

For a long time I was struggling with  having to use a JS library ( https://bashooka.com/coding/10-javascript-libraries-and-tools-to-work-with-pdf/ ) to view pdfs or images from the database, but with no luck because my files are stored in the database as BLOBs, it may seem simple for someone, but was not obvious for me to have a URL for my BLOBs to server the JS libraries. The following post will show how this is done. Preview PDF Uploads in an APEX App (Cross-post)

Sending email is somehow can be tricky or not an easy task, in case you want to send via Google or Office365 mail service. One of the option that you may use is 1. Mail Dropped

Since I didn't find time to write, I figured out I might reference some links that helped me a lot in my daily tasks, also I wanted to document these posts for my own reference, better than bookmarks, people can benefit from it, searchable and categorized. I will start with Oracle APEX installation. Apache as Proxy server.   Installing Oracle XE, ORDS and Apex on CentOS Oracle Database XE, APEX, ORDS, Tomcat and httpd on CentOS 7 Install and Configure Oracle Application Express with Oracle REST Data Services and Apache Tomcat I will update the list once I found another.
