Windows still strong,
Many people do their own DevOps, and they’re more comfortable with a Windows Server
Linux subsystem
Chrome is still the strongest OS
Databases
SQL Server is still the most used database, way ahead of MySQL
About 30% are open-source solutions
A lot of them have community editions
Frameworks
https://teratech.com/state-of-the-cf-union-2022-survey-results-frameworks-methodology/
Custom/homebrew is the most popular framework, ahead of ColdBox, FW/1 and CFWheels
Vue.js has moved further ahead of React and Angular for front-end frameworks
Cool ElsasticSearch option; one new Search coming out soon.
CMS- the winner is "don't use at all"
The second is custom homegrown CMS
Mura might’ve dropped because it went commercial
JavaScript libraries- almost 90$ of CFers use a library of some kind
JQuery still number one
CSS
Top CSS library is Bootstrap again
If you're not using CSS, maybe this year is a good time to pick up a little CSS allows tailwind. To make your apps look more modern and be responsive
CFC dependency injection
Why even use it?
Which persistence frameworks do you use?
Most don't use them
What is it exactly?
Way to help you store data somewhere, persistently
these will help your life, and they'll make it easy to load data, retrieve data search for data, and make you really happy with all that
ORM / Hibernate the most familiar one
A lot of people love writing SQL
What testing and mocking frameworks do you use?
Why would I even want for those all those people who answered none to this question?
What’s the benefit?
What were this testing and mocking stuff all these other people are doing?
Half the people in ColdFusion aren't testing and the other half are lying about it
Selenium is the most used testing framework
CF Mobile development frameworks
For the longest time, the native was native Android;
native iOS was a lot higher than in previous years.
