Breaking the CFML Barrier: Going Serverless on AWS Lambda with BoxLang — by Dan Card

Breaking the CFML Barrier: Going Serverless on AWS Lambda with BoxLang — by Dan Card

Like most in the CFML community, I’d heard about serverless for years but never dived into it for a host of reasons. One of these ( and a pretty major one! ) was an irrational avoidance of all things Java and being used to the ease of spinning up a CFML instance at other hosting locations.

However, as I started to have more and more small projects and personal tools that were a help to my day-to-day workflow, the cost to have these projects “always on” in a running instance or on EC2 was slowly, if not rapidly, becoming too expensive. This economic incentive, and the advent of BoxLang, were enough to overcome my reservations and the results were definitely worth the experiment.

Under the Hood of BoxLang 1.7: Our Fastest Compiler Yet

Under the Hood of BoxLang 1.7: Our Fastest Compiler Yet

With the release of BoxLang 1.7, our primary focus has been on improving the performance of our parser and bytecode generation pipeline. This article presents a comparison of BoxLang’s compilation performance against the current CFML engines. Future benchmarks will include other languages under similar workloads, but our immediate goal is to deliver measurable performance improvements to the CFML ecosystem, helping organizations achieve greater efficiency while preserving their existing technology investments, and provide to them a modern alternative and future.
