We are very excited to partner up with the great folks at Couchbase to bring you an awesome webinar on November 19th, 2013.  Myself, Brad and Tug will be presenting on the amazing features of the Couchbase NoSQL server and how it can be leveraged for scalability with CFML applications.  Here is a synopsis of the webinar:

The folks at Jelastic have published an excellent article about how to deploy ContentBox in their Jelastic Cloud and scale it for distribution.  Here is the article as well:

Introduction

Today we’ll show you how to deploy ContentBox to the Jelastic Cloud. In this deployment, ContentBox is powered by Railo, an open source CFML engine that can be deployed to any Java Servlet Container. Moreover, you’ll see how to use its embedded Railo CFML cluster cache by the Memcached implementation and how it can help to create a fast and scalable caching layer for ContentBox.

In our case, the clustered cache offers shared session storage for all servers in a cluster. You can then store all the sessions in this cache that are available from all servers in the cluster. In other words, we’ll use Memcached for session replication. So let’s take an easy example.

We are so pleased to bring you another addition to our Box collection of products: TestBox.  TestBox is a next generation testing framework for ColdFusion that is based on BDD (Behavior Driven Development) for providing a clean obvious syntax for writing tests. It contains not only a testing framework, runner, assertions and expectations library but also integrates with MockBox for mocking and stubbing. It also supports xUnit style of testing and MXUnit compatibilities.  At this point TestBox has been released as a 1.0.0 Alpha and can be downloaded from our main downloads page and it has been also integrated into our "development" branch for the ColdBox platform as well.  As you will see, TestBox also leverages Closures extensively to provide nice clear syntaxes in your tests.
