Charlie Arehart, Gert Franz, Mark Drew and Ben Nadel talk about "ACF and Lucee roundtable (Part 2)" in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.

"So this is part two of our panel discussion on Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee ColdFusion, or CFML, as they like to say. And if you haven't checked out last time, I'll put it in the show notes. But part one, we covered the ease of programming modern IDE, and open source versus closed source licensing differences. Some of the cool features in Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee, are ease of installation community in third-party tools and engine speed, scalability, and performance. So all of those topics, check out the first part. But this time, we're going to be talking about other things in Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee all the way cool places you can get documentation from how you can get help and support some of the podcasts out there. And engine updates. And we'll probably talk about some other things too because Gert gave us an extensive list of extra topics that we will work on fitting into the episode along with any other topics that Charlie, Ben, and Mark provided."

Dave Ferguson talks about "Are your Database Relationships in a Rut?" in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.

"Perhaps we should just talk about, you know how some ColdFusion developers get stuck in a rut with their database or other pieces of CF ecosystem?

Dave Ferguson 6:54

Yeah, mostly, I mean, I would say Yeah, mostly like database specifically. Everybody, I mean, you get this happens with anybody in anything you do. When you get really good at doing one thing. People just tend to stick with it. Because it's like, that's the train just the way I know how to do something. And I'm going to do this because it just makes my life simpler. But at the same time, you're almost doing yourself a disservice, because you're not learning something new that can make your life even easier. So you don't want to have that stuck in a rut of I'm going to do, I'm gonna do the same thing at that 10. Well, you want to do the same thing over to you, you're really good at it. But getting really good at something allows you to learn something else easier then. So if you just stick to one thing, you're never going to get down that I'm going to learn something else easier, because I'm just sticking with one specific thing."

CF Rut?

Don’t get stuck in a CFer rut

Just because you have always done Try new ways too

Hence trying different approaches

Definition of “insanity”

What relational databases do most CFers use?

SQL Server

MySQL

Is there a better way?

Most systems don't need an elaborate, and possibly expensive, relational database. Most can get by just fine with something else. 

Can horizontally scale-out to accommodate large data volumes

Documents typically align better with code objects

Evolve as the app / data evolves without restructuring

Types of database

Hierarchical databases

Network databases

Object-oriented databases

Relational databases

Links data via Primary and Foreign

keys

Standard T-SQL query language

Ridged schema/structure

Referential Integrity (ACID)

NoSQL databases

You don't have to store your data in predetermined columns

each row can have a data structure the other rows don't

Examples

MongoDB

Apache CouchDB

MarkLogic

Azure Cosmos DB

Couchbase

Key value databases

(a type of NoSQL)

Amazon DynamoDB

Oracle NoSQL Database

InfinityDB

Redis

Wide-column Stores

Google Bigtable

Amazon DynamoDB

Apache Accumulo

Apache Cassandra

Apache HBase

Why

Column formatting and names vary row to row

Columns are stored separately on disk

Data searching can be faster

Graph Databases

Neo4j

ArangoDB

Dgraph

OrientDB

Amazon Neptune

Intensive data relationship handling. Relationships are treated as a first-class citizen

Structure and schema of a graph model can flex as applications and industries change

Database can e

Transactions pros and cons

Relational databases have transactions - a group of SQL statements either all succeed or are all rolled back. Is this always best for app?

Downsides of NoSQL

No / Minimal ACID Support

ACID =

Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability

⇒ Transactions 

Little to no standardization between NoSQL products

NoSQL uses "Eventual Consistency" over transactions

Avoid NoSQL for

Banking

Online gaming

Rights Management

Complex / Dynamic querying

Use

Collection = table

createCollection

Document = row

objects

What database type is more appropriate than others for certain data?

Where does using a hybrid of databases makes sense and how that would look to a system?

How easy is it to use alternative databases with CF 2021?

ACF 2021 Package manager

Install MongoDB locally

Use MongoDB Atlas

DO MongoDB

Charlie Arehart, Gert Franz, Mark Drew and Ben Nadel talk about "ACF and Lucee roundtable" in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.

"Michaela Light 1:41

So let's start off by looking at how Adobe CF 2021 and Lucee 5.3 and how they compare for ease of programming and  CFML.

Mark Drew 1:57

I'm gonna have to jump out of the the Adobe side. Or maybe stake my my my bad claim is that I don't really know much about Adobe ColdFusion for the last five, six years since I haven't used it.

Michaela Light 2:17

So it's okay. Ben and Charlie have been using it. And bring Yeah, I mean, just to clarify to the audience, Mark and Gert are more on the Lucee side of things. Ben and Charlie are more on the Adobe ColdFusion side of things."

Show notes

Ease of programming in CFML

Modern CFML cfscript very similar to JavaScript on front end and server side

Objects, closures, loops etc

Lambdas, promises, closures, async features, fat arrow functions

CFML more intuitive than Node.js

Blocking and async

CFML blocking by default is best - easier to code and what you need most of the time

Async iteration

CFML simplifies complex libraries and coding methods in other languages

Modern IDE

VS Code

Adobe new add on

Free CFML extensions available

Open source vs closed source

Cost

Mindset - community

When features are added

Open bug list and prioritizing

Democracy and pay for features

Add to main language or extension

Licensing differences

Lucee: free

Can pay for a support contract for tech support and other custom help

ACF:

Free for development, testing and staging servers

30 day trial turns into dev edition if no key added

standard vs enterprise

Free education std license (for teaching and students, not school administration use)

AMI also offers 30 day trial

Charges begin after 30 days

Freemium model

Avoids barrier to entry

Hosting

Cloud

Docker

Microservices and lamada

Cores

Kubernetes clusters  and auto scaling

Compare to IBM, Microsoft, Redhat in cloud licence

Pet Freitag Fuseless AWS lambda

CFML features in ACF and Lucee

PDF support

Cloud support

Ease of Installation and hardware requirements

Zip/express/light install option

Much faster start up time (2 seconds)

Much smaller install image (50-200 MB vs 1000 MB)

Cf2021: CFPM package management to only include the features you actually use in the CFML engine

Full/gui install option

War deployment option

Silent install feature

Commandbox

Docker

Lucee images

Adobe images

Commandbox images for either

AWS AMI

Hosting options

Admin settings export/manage via json

Cfconfig (commandbox extension)

Cfsetup (cf2021 similar functionality)

Community and 3rd party tools

Rich community support, tools, ecosystem

Adobe reinventing products, not always compatible

Poisons the well of the community

CFML Engine Speed, scalability and performance

The engine does this scaling work for you

CF runs fast on real life apps

Performance issues always come down to bad code or database structure or API call delays

Developer egonomics vs performance

CFML is easy to learn and code in and sometimes you have to understand the consequence

Load testing is key to exercise your app in real life situation

Great monitor FusionReactor

Also ACF PMT, SeeFusion, Java monitoring tools

Garbage collection tuning is still a mystery to me. It’s magic.

Michaela Light 0:00

Welcome back to the show. I'm here with Eric Peterson. And we're talking about CF casts behind the scenes. We're going to learn what is in CF casts all the cool ColdFusion stuff in there, why He created it, and some other interesting stuff in ColdFusion land and CF casts. Welcome, Eric.

Eric Peterson 0:20

Hey, thanks for having me.

Michaela Light 0:22

You're welcome. And for those of you don't know, Eric is a CFML, and JavaScript developer, he works at audit solutions. And you know, the guys who make all those box products, among many other things, and they also make CF costs, which is probably why we're talking. And I'm surprised to learn Eric, though you did an Information Systems degree, thinking you thought you would hate programming.

Eric Peterson 0:48

Yeah, I did. Especially after my first programming course, in college. I just, it was, I don't know, it just wasn't, it didn't click. I remember, it was a Java course. And all I was doing was sticking things out in the console. And I thought, well, this is kind of boring. And I remember jumping forward to like, we made the game,

Brad Wood talks about “CommandBox Workflow magic (modules to speed up CF development)” in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light.

Show notes

Why use Workflows in your CF coding?

You probably already do use workflows if you don’t call them that

Eg 

source control steps

Bitbucket Pipelines

Local dev → staging → production

Ticketing system

Shared tools for code formatting

Scripts to automate common tasks

Teams and Individual developers

What is CommandBox?

CLI = Command Line Interface for CFML

Lots of addons written in CFML

Built in help

Very colorful ASCII art too

REPL

Integrated shell

Run multiple CF virtual server on one machine, different versions of ACF and Lucee

Auto install

Fast test of different versions

Command line automation

Task runners

Batch Scripting in CFML!  - more powerful than BASH

Package management

Libraries used in your app install and correct versioning

ForgeBox integration

Modern CFML more powerful ecosystem than Node, Pyphon etc

Written in CFML, runs on top of JVM

Open source

CommandBox Modules to improve workflow

Bullet Train 

Saves time knowing what you are doing the CLI

Fun too!

Dotenv 

Makes personalizing passwords, databases, SMTP server etc for each dev easy

Keeps passwords out of your CF code and source control - more secure

Cfconfig 

Back up and restore CF Admin settings - even between different CF versions or ACF and Lucee

CommandBox and Docker instances create settings automatically 

Disaster Recovery - easy restore of settings

Save settings to source control (though careful about passwords for datasources)

Dev vs production settings quick for locking down a server

Diff of settings between two servers - diagnosis settings bugs

Host updater  

Easy management of local host names vs IP addresses - a local DNS override in effect

Keeps hosts file clean when you stop using that virtual server.

FusionReactor  

Adds easy support to enable FusionReactor on the servers you start inside CommandBox.

FR licensing covers multiple ComandBox CF servers on the same machine

FR Cloud license counts the time used in containers dynamically

Other cool modules we didn’t cover in the episode that Brad loves

CFFormat

Cfdocs

service manager (paid)

$49 per server (lifetime license)

Note: Mark is not an attorney, does not play an attorney on TV and does not make official Adobe licensing policy. Here he what he wrote on this:

a clarification regarding Licensing: Any and all commentary regarding licensing during this podcast represents my personal opinion and experiences as a multi-decade ColdFusion developer. Any ideas or concepts floated do not represent Adobe's plans, goals or roadmaps for licensing. In short, I am not qualified nor even authorized to speak officially for Adobe regarding licensing terms or plans. Everything we spoke of here regarding licensing was "just Mark" chatting. Thank you for understanding.:-) " - Mark

He does however have a big influence inside the Adobe ColdFusion team. So I imagine the ideas will get back to them. :-) - Michaela
