We all test manually, lets step up our game with some easy, powerful and valuable automated tests with TestBox - even on your legacy codebases. Join Gavin on Friday October 28th at 11am (CDT) Go register!

CFSummit was a successful event. Our Ortusians rocked their presentations and we had the chance to meet a lot of amazing people with incredible ideas to continue contributing to the CFML world!

Hacktoberfest is here!

Ortus Solutions is built upon Open source with our flagship products all open source, this event holds a special place in our hearts and it’s a great space to show developers how we are modernizing the CFML language. We invite everyone to get involved and contribute to CFML Community Projects, with documentation, code, and new this year, non-code contributions. 

There are times when code needs to be shipped in a compiled state. It might be for obfuscation or source protection, it might just because it runs faster that way, without the CFML server needing to compile templates at runtime. It's an excellent use case for production Docker images and code deploy pipelines.

We are pleased to announce the release of cbElasticsearch version 2.3.3. cbElasticsearch is the Elasticsearch module for the Coldbox platform, and provides a fluent CFML API for interacting with, searching, and serializing to Elasticsearch servers.

This release adds full compatibility for Elasticsearch v8.x as well as maintaining support for Elasticsearch versions 6 and 7.

4 of our Ortusians will be speaking at CF Summit this year from Oct 3 - 4 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Here are all the details you need to join us and enjoy valuable CFML content to modernize your projects! We are sponsoring the event and will have a booth for you to come by and have a chat with our team!
