Features

Get up and running in minutes with an all-new installer that lets you automate repeatable installations of only the services you need. You have absolute control over what you install at all times.

Quickly deploy and scale applications in any environment, and ensure your ColdFusion code runs seamlessly in all of them. Standardize environments for continuous integration and delivery of your applications.

Boost the performance of your principal application by offloading resource-intensive code segments to a secondary thread. Simply use the RUNASYNC function to execute code without the overhead of managing multiple threads. Once the result is ready to be consumed, you’ll receive a notification. 

Increase code reuse, improve modularity, enhance productivity, and implement object-orientated design patterns using final variables, methods and components, abstract components, default functions, and interface and co-variant return types.

Implement a large repository of HTML5 charts using the built-in CFCHART tag. Easily create dynamic, data-heavy charts with a versatile server-side charting engine. Show data in a wide range of interactive formats with features such as zoom-in to help consumers get a granular view of information.

Swiftly identify and resolve complex performance issues buried deep in your code. Get the detailed information required to pinpoint the root cause of bottlenecks and troubleshoot applications more effectively. 

Make sure your database doesn’t act as a drag on application performance. Monitor all database queries, transactions, and query cache visually, and get predetermined or customized alerts to proactively take preventive or corrective action.

Zero in on external factors such as web services, file system, mail server, LDAP, Microsoft SharePoint, or transfer protocols that could be slowing down application performance. Ensure that all the components of your IT infrastructure are working in sync.

Work productively with complete scripting support for CFSCRIPT and even an optional semicolon to end a line of code. Develop applications faster and more easily by accessing every ColdFusion functionality using CFSCRIPT.

Enjoy all the CFML features you’ve been asking for. Interact with external systems seamlessly with support for null preservation of data types and a more intuitive way of creating Java objects. Slash coding effort by manipulating arrays and queries easily. Format DateTime with a single function and much more.

Improve performance and enhance scalability by leveraging built-in support for three popular industry engines: JCS, Memcached, and Redis. Also plug in your own caching engine by implementing a simple CFML interface. 

Ensure that your websites are always up and running. Eliminate 503 Service Unavailable errors by allowing the Performance Monitoring Toolkit to dynamically adjust connector settings based on incoming traffic.

Ensure the consistency of PDF metadata across the organization. Easily create, share, and apply metadata, including copyright notice, authoring data, and keywords, by transferring metadata between PDF and XMP files.

Deploy server settings from one instance to another, manage them through a console, and automate your admin tasks seamlessly with CF Setup. Uniformity of applications across servers is now a given.

Work with files, databases, and email, or invoke web services, by executing CFM via the command line. Execute the admin API from the CLI to script your ColdFusion server settings. Test-drive or learn CFML with REPL support in CLI.

Build and manage database-independent applications using object-relational mapping (ORM) without writing any SQL. Index and perform a full-text search of ORM entities with the built-in Lucene search engine, and obtain debug information through SQL logging.

Effectively manage email without writing much code. Easily send email using an SMTP server with the CFMAIL tag. Attach a callback handler to the CFMAIL tag to get delivery notifications. Manage email by connecting to an IMAP server with the CFIMAP tag, and retrieve mail from a POP mail server with the CFPOP tag.
