Here at ColdBox HQ, we've been falling in love with Couchbase.  It's a distributed Memcached-compatible key-value store AND NoSQL database.  Hopefully you been reading out Couchbase blog series over on the Ortus blog.  We're working to make Couchbase accessible from your favorite CFML engine and today we released our open source provider for CacheBox.  

CacheBox is a cache aggregator and API which means it can connect to any number of underlying cache engines via multiple named caches and presents them all to you under a consolidated API.  CacheBox comes with the ColdBox MVC platform, but if you're not using ColdBox, keep reading!  CacheBox is also available as a standalone library for use in any application, even if you're not using a framework.  

Since Couchbase is an out-of-process cache is doesn't use any memory in your JVM's heap and also persists on disk across restarts.  Once you register our Couchbase provider in CacheBox, you can connect to a Couchbase cluster and immediately begin storing data for your application.  

  • Built-in ColdBox Caching
  • Manual caching available anywhere
    • Queries
    • Oft-used data
    • Write your own SessionStorage or ClientStorage plugin for a custom Couchbase store
    • Snippets of rendered content

The Provider is fully documented and professionally supported.  Check out the full post here on the Ortus Blog, or skip straight to the download page.

BoxLang 1.17 Series Part 4 : WriteDump Enhanced!

You call writeDump() on an ORM entity or a very rich class graph . The browser locks up. Thirty seconds later you get a page with forty thousand rows on it, you scroll for a while, you give up, and you go edit your code to dump a sub-key instead. Or worse, you crash the server.

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection

BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 4 : Locking Down Prompt Injection

LLM applications face a class of attack traditional input validation was never built for: prompt injection. An attacker embeds instructions in user input, a retrieved document, a web page your tool fetched, or an MCP result, trying to override your system prompt, exfiltrate data, or hijack a tool call. BoxLang AI 3.4.0 ships four layered, configurable defenses against exactly this, plus one more that's on unconditionally.
