Awesome shoutout to Ortus in the Boxteam Slack from Don Ballamy

Shoutout to the Ortus team!  A few weeks ago we had a major security incident on our network at Azure (not CF related) that caused us to rebuild our entire network of virtual machines.  We hired a security firm to oversee the rebuild and one of our legacy API apps running on CF 11 was flagged and had to be upgraded to CF 2021 (we had planned to, but time had been limiting it).  I spent a few days trying, this app was originally written in ColdFusion 8, but then gave up and decided to rewrite the entire API application using ColdBox 6.  I was able to rebuild the entire application in 3 days.  Without the tools you guys create and work on a daily basis, this would not have been possible.  Thank You!

ICYMI - ColdBox v6.6.0 released

Today we are incredibly excited to release ColdBox v6.6.0 and its standalone companion libraries: CacheBox, LogBox and WireBox. This release has taken quite a few months and tons of years of research to complete. We have finally made WireBox a Hierarchical Dependency Injection framework. This is our first huge step into allowing multi-dependency management in ColdBox Modules. This means that you will be able to have modules of different versions running within the same ColdBox app and each module will be able to get the right dependency that it needs. With that said, let's explore this release.

Tweet - Brad Wood - X-Forwarded-For in CommandBox vNext
Fair warning-- for a more secure-by-default behavior, CommandBox vNext will no longer trust X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers unless you configure it to. This is to prevent IP-based access control being circumvented. https://ortussolutions.atlassian.net/browse/COMMANDBOX-1424 #CFML #ColdFusion #InfoSec #SecureByDefault

Blog - Ben Nadel - I Always Design The Database Schema First, Then The ColdFusion Code
Throughout my career, I've often heard that it is a best practice to design your "Domain Objects" and your "Business Logic" first and then, eventually, to design a database schema that allows your domain objects to be persisted. I've even seen many ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) systems that will happily churn-out database schemas based solely on your Objects (and their metadata). Personally, I've never done this. In fact, I find this approach to be antagonistic to how my brain operates. When I'm working on a ColdFusion application (or a feature therein), I always start with the database schema first and then layer the ColdFusion application upon it using an iterative, ground-up approach.
