Webinar / Meetups and Workshops

ICYMI - Online CF Meetup - "The Many Ways to Run CF (and Lucee)", with Charlie Arehart
Thursday June 8th - 12pm US Eastern Time

Depending on your experience you may tend to favor running CF and your CFML the way you've "always done it" (perhaps by installing CF, or perhaps via Commandbox). But did you know there are in fact several ways to deploy CF (or Lucee), including ways to run CFML without even needing to do that? In this session, veteran CF consultant Charlie Arehart will identify these, starting first with WHY it's useful to have different ways to be able to deploy CF/Lucee and CFML.

Then he will discuss and demonstrate those several ways--whether you prefer to run CF on your own machine or another (whether hosted or in the cloud), to include even being able to run CFML WITHOUT need of CF (or Lucee) to be "installed" at all. He will cover such topics as installers (GUI and console-based), silent installation (and updates), Commandbox, WAR file deployment, container-based (Docker/Kubernetes) deployment, serverless deployment, as well as CLI-based execution of CFML, and execution via cffiddle and trycf, among others.

Buckle up, buttercup, for a fast tour of this varied landscape.

Ortus June Webinar - Taming Time Series Data with StacheBox and the Elk Stack
Jun 16, 2023, 11:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)
Tired of combing through log files across different servers and/or containers to analyze problems and patterns? In this 1 hour webinar, we will show you how to leverage Logstash and the ELK ( Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana ) to consolidate, analyze and visualize your time series data. We'll take you through the process of automating Adobe Coldfusion, Lucee, Apache, NGINX, and IIS Logs into usable, searchable log data. We'll also demonstrate the power of StacheBox to help you troubleshoot, diagnose, and analyze your application exception data.
