One of the most powerful aspects of CBWIRE is how it brings reactivity and interactivity to your BoxLang and CFML applications using a server-driven approach. To understand how it works under the hood, let’s walk through a common example: the Counter component from the CBWIRE Introduction.

CommandBox is a standalone CLI tool that empowers BoxLang and modern CFML developers with an extensive set of features to streamline development, testing, and deployment. Written in ColdFusion itself, it allows you to extend its capabilities by creating custom commands and applications.

BoxLang isn’t just a language, it’s a movement to reinvent how software is built, scaled, and evolved. The Pioneer License is your chance to join early, shape its future, and modernize without limits.

Available only until December 1st, 2025, set your modernization plan in motion and let us lead and support every step of the way you need us!

We’re excited to launch a new video series focused on deploying BoxLang Cloud Servers across the three major cloud providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

This step-by-step series is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and cloud professionals looking to run BoxLang applications efficiently in modern cloud environments. Each week, a new video will walk you through different deployment scenarios using a range of BoxLang server configurations.

The testing ecosystem at Ortus keeps evolving, and so does TestBox. As BoxLang adoption accelerates, we’re proud to announce a major leap forward for the de facto standard in CFML and BoxLang testing.From full native BoxLang support to serverless execution and tighter IDE integration, TestBox is now faster, more flexible, and ready for the future of modern app development.

This isn't just another incremental update; it's a game-changing release that introduces revolutionary features, massive performance improvements, and hundreds of bug fixes that make BoxLang more powerful and developer-friendly than ever before. This is a culmination of over a month of feedback from clients and teams migrating their applications to BoxLang.
