  • Event-driven programming
  • Asynchronous and scheduled task support
  • Native scripting across all operating systems
  • In-memory applications
  • Queues and modular architecture
  • Runtime support for Python, PHP, JavaScript, Groovy, and more

Reactive vs Proactive ColdFusion Support: Why Waiting for an Outage Is the Most Expensive Strategy

Many ColdFusion environments operate in a reactive mode without realizing it.

Everything seems fine… until something breaks.

A server crashes.

Performance drops suddenly.

An integration stops working.

A security audit reveals missing patches.

At that point the response is urgent:
