Into the Box Announcement Recap

After two days of non-stop sessions, it is safe to say that Into the Box 2020 proved to be a one-of-a-kind virtual experience. It is important to note that it wouldn’t have been possible without the trust and support of our speakers, sponsors and 100+ attendees. We were all witnesses to the power of the CFML community and we couldn’t be more thankful for allowing us to engage with you all.

As you may have noticed, we have many things cooking at Ortus. We wanted to highlight what is coming soon and what we have been working on so that you can keep track and be in the lookout for the releases.

Blog - Steve Neiland - You don't need to make everything an object
Last week I was tasked with investigating an excel report which was failing to generate for certain large accounts. My initial thought was an inefficient query or poorly implemented logic was to blame. However after digging through the query logs I couldn't find anything wrong with the queries and the business logic appeared reasonable for the ask. Yet the report was timing out after what I would have considered a reasonable time for it.

Blog - Matthew Clemente - CFHTTP and SSL issues with CommandBox 5
We recently ran into a puzzling issue with cfhttp and CommandBox 5. Requests to certain domains, such as trycf.com, would fail with Unknown host: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure, despite the domain’s SSL certificate being valid. I hope this post, which digs into the somewhat unexpected source of them problem, is helpful to anyone else who might encounter the error.
