Ortus Solutions is proud to announce that one of our newest steps in our Modernize or Die ® movement, announced at Into the Box 2019, is now launched. The Modernize or Die Podcast CFML News Edition launched a couple of weeks back, but now, the SoapBox edition has been launched as well.

Unlike the CFML News Edition, hosted by Gavin and Andrew live on YouTube every week, the SoapBox edition will be more of an interview style format. The first few episodes have been released, with Luis Majano being the guest, talking about the Call to Arms to the community to encourage everyone to step to make our community even better, the History of ColdBox / Ortus Solutions, and the State of ColdBox. We have a lot more episodes scheduled with Brad Wood, Sam Knowlton, Pete Freitag, Brian Klass and maybe more as dive deeper into the ColdFusion Community Members, where we'll discuss their tools, frameworks, modules, workflows, lessons learned and best practices, and much more.

Most importantly, where can you watch / listen to the podcast?

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?

The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.

Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?

Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.

Updating Adobe ColdFusion isn't always just installing the latest patch

Keeping Adobe ColdFusion updated is an important part of maintaining a secure and reliable application environment.

But applying a ColdFusion update is not always as simple as installing the latest patch and restarting the server.

Updates can include security fixes, library upgrades, JVM-related changes, changes to the ColdFusion Administrator, updated packages, bug fixes, and changes in runtime behavior. Most updates will not cause problems for most applications. But when you'r...
