126 Revealing FusionReactor 9 (ColdFusion Monitoring New Tools) with David Tattersall

David Tattersall talks about “Revealing FusionReactor 9 (ColdFusion Monitoring New Tools)” in this episode of the ColdFusion Alive Podcast with host Michaela Light.

“We’ll be talking about the amazing new features in fusion reactor nine, for making your ColdFusion apps run fast and not have crashes. Or if they do have slowdowns or crashes, you can quickly diagnose, what’s going on. And there are a lot of new features in version nine. So we’ll get into that in the episode, and we’ll go through some demos for those of you on video; you’ll be able to see the demo for those listening on audio; we’ll walk through the eight cool stuff that you’re seeing.”
