It's that time of year again. Trees are lit, presents are being wrapped, and relatives are coming to visit. That's right, it's time again for the 12 days of Christmas-- 2022 ITB Video Release Edition! 

Today, Day 9's Videos from Into the Box 2022 Conference, 2 sessions about debugging CFML apps and errors.

For the next 12 business days up until Christmas, we'll be releasing a series of related videos each day on the CFCasts site for our Paid and Unpaid CFCasts Subscribers, and a announcement with titles, descriptions, and links to the videos, right here on the Ortus blog. Consider it our early Christmas gift to you.

We were planning on releasing the videos on Dec 24th, but we couldn't wait any longer.

Kai Koenig - Modern ways to keep on top of crashes and errors in your applications

It doesn't matter if you're working on a website, an app or on a complex back end enterprise system. We all know that software is usually not free of bugs. Monitoring your backend systems and having error logging mechanism for them is reasonably common nowadays. Logging issues in client-side apps is usually more complicated and requires some planning and usually additional libraries, but ideally you’d be able to track and follow issues across your tech stack and be notified of critical problems.

After this session you'll have a much better understanding of the error logging and crash reporting ecosystem and will have seen common usage patterns. The session will also cover typical organisational concerns such as perceived performance overhead or cost and how to counter and debunk some of these myths by looking at the benefits of a comprehensive error logging solution.

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:
