It turns out, when using the lCFImportg tag, Lucee CFML is doing a massive amount of File IO (Input/Output), resolving the CFML file on every invocation (which I've filed as a bug). And, File IO is notoriously slow in Docker For Mac. Which begs the question: how does the local File IO penalty compare to a production Lucee CFML server which is also running containers but is much closer to the metal? It turns out, the File IO in my Docker for Mac is 68-times slower than it is in production.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4010-my-docker-for-mac-file-io-is-68-times-slower-than-it-is-in-production.htmVideo - Mid-Michigan ColdFusion Users Group - Building Microsoft Teams Apps With CFMLRandy Brown gives two examples of using Microsoft Teams apps with ColdFusion/CFML. First example is a bot that acts as a twice monthly reminder to process student timecards. Second example is a sophisticated CallerID application that brings up customer information on a cell phone after the first ring. Integrates with the universities Avaya phone system. Delivered live at a meeting of Mid-Michigan ColdFusion Users Group.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r78_s7xz37MBlog - Ben Nadel - An Opinionated Guide To Handling Pull Requests (PRs) On My TeamOn last week's Working Code podcast episode, I presented my strongly held beliefs about how Pull Requests (PRs) should be managed within a team setting. This is based on a decade of trial-and-error and an evolving understanding of git and GitHub that works well for me and my small team at InVision. Some of these opinions resonated with the podcast panel; others were flat-out rejected. Your mileage may vary.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4013-an-opinionated-guide-to-handling-pull-requests-prs-on-my-team.htm Blog - Matthew Clemente - PostgreSQL - Only Update If Greater ThanA quick note on a very convenient PostgreSQL function that I learned today - GREATEST - which can be used when you want a database column updated only if the incoming value is greater (more recent) than the existing value in the column.https://blog.mattclemente.com/2021/03/22/postgresql-greatest.html http://erikdarlingdata.com/sql-server/greatest-least-and-sql-server/Blog - Ben Nadel - The ColdFusion Monolith Allows My Team To Move Fast And Deploy Hella OftenA few months ago, I wrote about how my team is actively merging microservices back into the monolith. Then, yesterday, I shared my opinionated guide to managing Pull Requests (PRs) for my team of 4 engineers at InVision. In that guide, I talked about how my team prioritizes code reviews, shipping product, and providing value to our customers. These two strategies - using a ColdFusion monolith and making PRs our number one priority - allow my team to move fast and deploy hella often. And while I've always felt this in my bones, I was delighted to see that my Operations Team just created a dashboard that allows me to see those feelings materialized in a service-deployment bar chart:https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4014-the-coldfusion-monolith-allows-my-team-to-move-fast-and-deploy-hella-often.htm Blog - Adobe - ColdFusion March 2021 updates releasedWe are pleased to announce that we have released the updates for the following ColdFusion versions:ColdFusion (2021 release) Update 1ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 11ColdFusion (2016 release) Update 17In these updates, we’ve fixed a few security bugs and some other bugs, which are mentioned in the tech notes.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/03/coldfusion-march-2021-updates-released/ Blog - Ben Nadel - Porting Lucee CFML's SystemOutput() Function Over To Adobe ColdFusionIn my previous post on dynamically extending a distributed lock in Redis, Paolo Olocco asked about some Lucee CFML / Adobe ColdFusion compatibility issues; one of which was how to implement the SystemOutput() function. At InVision, writing to the standard out and error streams is a very important action: we use SystemOutput() to write all of our logs to the these streams where they are then aggregated and shipped off to Loggly. As such, I thought it would be a fun code kata to try and port the SystemOutput() function over to Adobe ColdFusion.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4012-porting-lucee-cfmls-systemoutput-function-over-to-adobe-coldfusion.htmBlog - StarGateMS on ColdFusion Forum - Alert about MySQL Connector/J 8.0.23Users who require the MySQL Connector/J should avoid 8.0.23 as it breaks date values returned in queries. Stick with 8.0.22 for now.We encountered a problem while setting up a new ColdFusion 2021 server, and felt it warranted an alert to other users who want to use MySQL through the community version of the MySQL Connector/J.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/03/alert-mysql-connector-j-8-0-23/ Blog - Ben Nadel - Casting Between Dates And Numeric Dates In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.48One of the curious features of ColdFusion is the fact that you can represent Date/Time values as numbers. These numbers reference the fractional days since the "ColdFusion Epoch", which is 12/30/1899 00:00:00 for "reasons". I don't use these "numeric dates" very often. But, just this past week, I had to group a bunch of date/time values into "day buckets"; and, I found it quite convenient to call floor( date ) in order to get a normalized, numeric version. This brought up fond memories of the 2000-aughts when I was fascinated by "Date Math" in ColdFusion. As such, I wanted to take a moment and wax nostalgic about casting between Dates and Numbers in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.48.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4011-casting-between-dates-and-numeric-dates-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-48.htmTweet - Gary Knight - Ortus LoveI love #commandbox. @ortussolutions and @bdw429s have done such a phenomenal job of building an awesome #cli for the #cfml community.
