This year we have exciting, new projects under our belt and one of the first ones that was unveiled was our new Modernize or Die Podcast – Conference Edition. In order to keep our projects alive, we rely on the help of generous patrons who contribute in different ways to sustain our community and modernize CFML.

Our podcasts are no exception. By pledging as little as $10 a month, you can become part of the movement that is revolutionzing the industry. We aim to provide as much information and your hosts will do their best to keep you up to date on everything ColdFusion related ranging from events, engine updates and releases, Frameworks Tools and Module releases, the best quality blog posts, tweets and videos from the community as well as the ForgeBox module of the Week and the VS Code Hint Tip and Trick of the week.

In the SoapBox Edition, we take you behind the scenes in the ColdFusion community to talk with the leaders, to find out what they are doing to push the language forward, with tools, frameworks, modules, lessons and best practices.

Our Conference Edition podcast is also no exception. It was born to help YOU decide where you should allocate your time and resources. The insights and engaging interviews are there as a guide and preview into upcoming conferences. 

Yet all this can’t be done without your help. Click on the link to contribute in any way possible, as anything helps. We look forward to continuing modernizing CFML development and advancing the language!

Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.

Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.

Your ColdFusion Upgrade Passed. Did Your Business Workflows?

The server restarted. The administrator shows the expected version. Your homepage loads, and a few familiar screens look fine.

Would you tell the business the upgrade is complete?

Consider an illustrative scenario: a customer submits an order after an upgrade. The application saves it and displays a confirmation page. But the confirmation email never arrives, and the scheduled process that sends the order to fulfillment has not completed.
