The reality for most of us is that our applications have organically grown over the years and exist today in different states. We typically inherit a hybrid of monolith with the addition of services and integrated disparate systems. Much of the time we do not have the opportunity to start from the ground up, rather build from a certain point for modernization and future growth. The ability to completely modernize and decouple the entire architecture is limited by resources and budget constraints among other factors. In this session we’ll review some of the current trends in microservices architecture with a focus on existing application transformation and challenges. https://cfwebinar-trends.meetus.adobeevents.com/Fusion Reactor Webinar - Installing FusionReactor in dynamic environmentsThis session will cover how to automate the installation of FusionReactor via Docker and CommandBox as well as answer any questions you may have related to the install of FusionReactor.With special guest: Brad Wood25 March - 3PM EST - 7PM UTCRegister now - https://www.fusion-reactor.com/news/installing-fusionreactor-in-dynamic-environments-live-stream-support/Next Ortus Webinar - CBElasticSearch with Michael BornMarch 27th at 11:00 AM EST (GMT -5:00)with Michael BornMore information and registration link coming soon: https://www.ortussolutions.com/events/webinarsAdobe Webinar - Journey through the Adobe ColdFusion Performance Monitoring ToolPresenter: Elishia DvorakApril 9th, 11am PDT This session is all about demos, no slides!

When this happens, some degree of data transformation and migration often has to happen. For example, I just retrofitted Markdown onto 15-years of HTML content using Lucee CFML. One approach that I make use of a lot is creating an intermediary table in the database with the transformed data; and then, copying that transformed data into the destination table using an UPDATE query that contains an INNER JOIN condition. That said, I tend to forget the SQL syntax for this in MySQL 5.6.37; so, I wanted to put together a quick demo for future reference.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3792-copying-data-from-one-table-to-another-using-an-inner-join-update-query-in-mysql-5-6-37.htmBlog - Charlie Arehart - Three reasons your sites may break, and how to fix them, after applying March 2020 update to CF2018 or 2016If your site/s are served to ColdFusion via IIS or Apache, note that those sites will fail immediately after applying the March 2020 CF updates, update 8 for CF2018 and update 14 for CF2016. But there’s an easy fix.It’s not a bug, and CF is not broken. Instead, it’s simply that you need to take a second step right after the update, and you may need to take another step or two depending on your configuration.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2020/03/three-reasons-sites-may-break-fix-applying-mar-2020-update-cf2018-2016/Longer Version: https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2020/3/20/how_and_why_sites_may_break_after_Mar_2020_CF_updatesBlog - James Moberg - ColdFusion Test for new Amazon Trust Services CertificatesI received an email notification from Amazon that Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront were migrating default certificates to Amazon Trust Services in March 2021.As a ColdFusion developer, I use Amazon S3 for a couple projects. I've encountered issues in the past and have had to resort to using S3Express: Amazon S3 Command Line Utility to improve performance, thread stability and avoid time-outs. I continue to use CFML to access S3 to generate real-time, time-expiring download links for digital downloads.https://dev.to/gamesover/coldfusion-test-for-new-amazon-trust-services-certificates-1k6oBlog - Zac Spitzer - Lucee Log Viewer v3.0.0.32I have finally got around to publishing v3.0.0.32 as an extension via Forgeboxhttps://www.forgebox.io/view/91AF5D75-8CEF-4510-A170240C401F5FBAFeatures include: Aggregates all logs into a single combined view, Search by date or string, Auto refreshing / polling, Filter by severity or source log file, Stack traces are collapsedhttps://dev.lucee.org/t/lucee-log-viewer-v3-0-0-32/6781Blog - Ben Nadel - As A Man, I Can Be A Better Example Than I Have BeenMany years ago, a woman came up to me at a conference and said something to the effect of: I really appreciate what you do; but, I think you're a terrible person.At the time, I was amused by this sentiment. I've been writing on this blog for about 15-years now; and, in the early days, I thought it was cool to be "edgy". And so, I created code samples that referenced women's physical characteristics and hot-or-not style rating systems and I included images of very questionable taste in my demos.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3791-as-a-man-i-can-be-a-better-example-than-i-have-been.htmBlog - Ben Nadel - Avoiding Self-Closing IFRAME Tags Using htmlParse() In Lucee CFML 5.3.4.80Over the past week, I've been working to retrofit Markdown onto all of my old blog content using Lucee CFML. It's been an exciting journey with a lot of trial and error. For example, the other day, I realized the .xmlText property wasn't giving me escaped HTML entities; and, just this morning, I realized that iframe tags with no content were getting re-serialized as self-closing tags. While this is valid for XML - any tag with no children can be self-closing - only certain tags in HTML can be self-closing. And, the iframe is not one of them. As such, I had to re-process all of my posts, ensuring that iframe tags were serialized using both an Open and Close tag in Lucee CFML 5.3.4.80.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3790-avoiding-self-closing-iframe-tags-using-htmlparse-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-4-80.htm Tweet - Kai Koenig - One positive of the Pandemic - Virtual ConferencesAs sad as the whole pandemic situation is, conferences I'd never be able to attend (because in the US or far away and travel making it too expensive) otherwise, now become accessible.Into The Box going virtual! #cfml #lucee #coldfusionhttps://twitter.com/agentK/status/1241155842327494656https://twitter.com/agentKBlog - Ortus Solutions  - Into the Box 2020 is Going Virtual!Ortus Solutions has been constantly monitoring the developments of COVID-19.

Due to technological advancements, applications and IT infrastructures are becoming far more diverse. But with this development comes such application performance related issues as troubleshooting and problem rectification. Hence, introducing the quality of the services that end-users demand from a server begins with an excellent monitoring strategy.http://www.fusion-reactor.com/news/database-monitoring/Blog - Ortus Solutions - Comandbox Docker v3.0.0 Images ReleasedWe are pleased to announce the 3.0.0 release of the Commandbox Docker image.This release offers a number of improvements and optimizations for runtime usage and usage in crafting custom images for deployments.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/comandbox-docker-v300-images-releasedBlog - Charlie Arehart - Addressing SameSite cookie issues, before Adobe offers an update that doesHow to quickly resolve samesite cookie issues, at least until a CF update helps handle it more automatically.The update from Adobe yesterday (Mar 17, 2020) did not include a fix regarding the long-anticipated “samesite cookie” problem. In this post, I will share info on what you can do in the meantime, until Adobe DOES address the problem. (The info will also help any who happen to be running on CF11 or earlier, which are no longer updated by Adobe.)https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2020/03/addressing-samesite-cookie-issues-adobe-offers-update/Blog - Ben Nadel - Reading XmlText Values From The XML Document Produced By htmlParse() In Lucee CFML 5.3.4.80Over the weekend, I spent about 2-days trying to retrofit Markdown onto 15-years of HTML-based content using htmlParse() in Lucee CFML. It was an iterative process with a lot of trial and error. And, even after I posted my article, I continued to find new and interesting caveats. One thing that caught me off-guard was that escaped HTML entities within the original HTML source-code became un-escaped when being accessed through the resultant .xmlText properties. As such, I wanted to take a quick look at how I might be able to access the original, escaped-value using htmlParse() and Lucee CFML 5.3.4.80.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3789-reading-xmltext-values-from-the-xml-document-produced-by-htmlparse-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-4-80.htmBlog - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - CommandBox 5.0.1 ReleasedWe've released a very small patch release to CommandBox 5.0.0 which is 5.0.1 and has only 5 tickets.  Most all are related to tweaks for the new server start bash script functionality that we've been rolling into our Ortus CommandBox Docker images.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/commandbox-501-releasedTweet - DrDomski - It's all about staying safeIt's all about staying safe at the moment, and this is a really good post on keeping your user-inputted HTML safe. #ColdFusion #CFML #Lucee #ACFA blog from Mitrasoft: https://www.mitrahsoft.com/index.cfm/blog/coldfusion-compatible-issafehtml-in-lucee-using-antisamyhttps://twitter.com/drdomski/status/1241074239274389515https://twitter.com/drdomskiTweet - Matthew Clemente - Live streamingNot promising any excitement, but I'll be living coding again tonight - 8:30pm eastern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJYEwwWk94safeature=youtu.beI'll pick up where I left off last week, building a custom command for CommandBox #CFML #ColdFusionhttps://twitter.com/mjclemente84/status/1240398780672999426https://twitter.com/mjclemente84Blog - David Byers - ColdFusion Portal -  Can’t find ColdFusion talent?
