Introducing CFML Badges

Blog - Matt Gifford - CFML Badges
A few years ago I forked an open-source project called For The Badge which provides funny and sometimes useful status badges for README files and documentation.
I initially forked it so that I could add a few CFML-related badges into it, but the PR process was long and I realised that I had a number of badges that would need to be approved.
So instead I cloned a copy of the repository and turned it into a CFML-specific badge site, with some general web development badges still included.

Blog - Ben Nadel - Tracking Feature Flags In New Relic And NRQL Using The Java Agent In Lucee CFML 5.3.3.62
Over the last few years, I've talked a lot about how much I love using LaunchDarkly feature flags. Feature flags have completely changed the way that we deploy changes here at InVision. One of the common use-cases we have for feature flags is to add code that we think will lead to a performance improvement. Of course, in order to determine whether or not our optimizations are working, we need to be able to see how they handle real-world traffic. For that, we currently use New Relic. And, to differentiate the existing traffic from the "optimized" traffic, I'v...
