We are excited to announce a major new addition to BoxLang Academy: the 7-part video series, Building AI on the JVM: A BoxLang AI Series

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant frontier, it’s a core requirement for modern enterprise software. But for JVM developers, the path to integration has often been fragmented. That ends today. With the launch of this series, we are showing you exactly how to leverage the BoxLang AI (BXAI) platform to build intelligent, scalable applications with ease.


🧠 Master Enterprise AI Orchestration

Hosted by Luis Majano, this series is a practical deep dive into the BXAI framework. You won't just learn about LLMs; you’ll learn how to orchestrate them into professional workflows.

What's inside the series?

  • Unified Development: See how BoxLang centralizes over 14+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, etc.) under a single API.
  • Advanced Architectures: Master RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and tool calling to make your AI data-aware.
  • Type Safety: Learn to use Structured Outputs to ensure your AI responses actually work with your code.
  • Multimodality: Explore how to process images and PDFs directly within your AI pipelines.

🛠️ The Platform: Why BoxLang AI?

While the Academy teaches you the how, the BoxLang platform provides the tools. By adding BXAI to your stack, you gain:

  1. Zero Vendor Lock-in: Switch between LLM providers with a simple configuration change.
  2. Seamless JVM Integration: Works natively with your existing Java and ColdFusion/CFML investments.
  3. Agent Orchestration: Build autonomous agents that can think, remember, and act within your business logic.

📺 Start Watching Now

The entire series is free and available now on the Academy. Whether you have an hour to binge the whole thing or want to take it one episode at a time, your journey to becoming an AI-enabled JVM developer starts here.👉 Join the Series at BoxLang Academy💡 Ready to Build?

ColdBox Just Got an AI Superpower: Introducing Agentic ColdBox

If you've been watching the AI-assisted development wave from the sidelines, wondering when it would actually matter for your ColdBox HMVC stack — the wait is over. The latest ColdBox CLI release ships a brand-new ai namespace that transforms how you and your team interact with coding agents like Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini and many more.

This isn't a chatbot integration or a prompt template sitting in a README. This is a full framework-aware AI system built directly into your development workflow.

Hotfix Hell: Why Legacy ColdFusion Systems Become Operationally Fragile

Hotfix Hell: Why Legacy ColdFusion Systems Become Operationally Fragile

Many legacy CFML systems do not fail suddenly.

Instead, they slowly become fragile.

At first, the application works. Then small operational issues start appearing: unexpected slowdowns, random restarts, patches applied late at night, fixes that introduce new bugs.

Eventually teams find themselves trapped in what many engineers call “hotfix hell.”

This pattern is common in environments still running:
