Central Configuration Server

Manage a cluster of multiple ColdFusion servers which are centrally configured in one location. From the admin UI you can auto-discover ColdFusion nodes in the same network and add them to the Central Configuration Server.

HTML to PDF

Generate pixel-perfect PDF files from HTML pages. An optimised CSS ensures that the content in the PDF file appears and functions as it does in the web browser, retaining its formatting, layout and hyperlinks.

Modularisation

Continuously integrate small pieces of code and deliver applications quickly and seamlessly by taking advantage of ColdFusion server modularisation. Now install only the services your application needs and nothing more.

Docker Images

Deploy and scale applications quickly in any environment and ensure your ColdFusion code runs seamlessly in all of them. Standardise environments for continuous integration and delivery of your applications.

Asynchronous Programming

Boost the performance of your principal application by using the RUNASYNC function to offload resource-intensive code segments to a secondary thread and avoid managing multiple threads. Once the result is ready to be consumed, you’ll receive a notification.

Improved Object-Orientated Support

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

LDAP and SAML Integration

Easily integrate existing users and groups from LDAP server in ColdFusion Administrator, while also enabling SAML SSO. Manage access permissions for different users and groups without having to re-create them again in the admin node.

JWT Integration in CF

Verify multiple entities quickly and efficiently with JWTs. The simple and flexible design of JWTs allows them to communicate authentication and authorisation information about users between each other.

Single Sign-On

Enjoy the convenience of having one set of credentials across multiple applications. With SAML, all users have a single point of authentication, which gives the enterprise a birds-eye view of user-level access into the ecosystem at all times.

Auto Lockdown

With a single click, implement a lockdown of your production server, the steps of which will be systematically followed, ensuring that security measures are fail-safe and in compliance. Post-lockdown, the system will continue to be monitored for potential breaches.

Security Enhancements

Provide authentication, integrity and confidentiality to users with NTML authentication support on CFSHAREPOINT, CFOBJECT and CFINVOKE. Access the ColdFusion administrator and Performance Monitoring Toolkit easily with Common Access Card (CAC) authentication.

Security Code Analyzer

Use the security code analyzer to scan existing application code and automatically detect vulnerabilities and potential security breaches. Identify the exact vulnerable code, type of vulnerability and severity level and mitigate the vulnerability with the suggestion provided.

Cloud Storage Services

Optimise the efficiency of your projects with AWS S3, Azure Blob and GCP Cloud Storage by communicating with multiple databases using a single line of code. Grow with storage space that’s expandable, elastic, accessible and cheaper than ever before.

NoSQL Database

Enjoy dynamic and automatic scalability with AWS DynamoDB, GCP MongoDB and GCP Firestore. Process large volumes of data, access a flexible JSON-like data model and improve performance and ease of application development by employing these features.

Messaging Service

Eliminate the complexity of message-orientated middleware and improve the performance and scalability of your applications with Azure Service Bus, AWS SNS/SQS and GCP Pub/Sub. Access messaging queue services with ease, transmit any volume of data across applications and keep tabs on the status of your messages.

Relational Database Services

Keep your databases secure, reliable and scalable using Amazon RDS, Azure database services and GCP Cloud SQL. You can now run your business without any disruptions and set up, operate and scale a relational database in the cloud at a lower cost and in no time at all.

AWS Lambda

Run ColdFusion codes for virtually any type of application or service using AWS Lambda, with zero administration and automatic scaling. Now pay only for computing time and seamlessly run your codes without thinking about the server.

Email Service

Now get a cost-effective service to send emails from any application by taking advantage of ColdFusion integration with Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Send notifications, transactional and marketing emails or any other content to your customers securely and easily.

GraphQL Client

Ease communication with GraphQL clients by abstracting away small details and implementing additional features, such as caching, query batching and deduplication and static typing of GraphQL query results. It also enables clients to specify queries and servers to validate data against a strongly typed schema.

Lightweight Installer

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

PDF Manipulation with Document Description XML (DDX)

Leverage full access to DDX to perform advanced tasks, such as adding comments, bookmarks, file attachments, headers and footers and manipulate PDF documents. Customise the appearance of your PDF files by setting page margins, size and rotation.

Enterprise Infrastructure

Achieve scalability by creating and managing multiple server instances in a clustered or virtualised environment. Easily deploy ColdFusion as an EAR or WAR file from within your existing Java EE application servers. Send and receive unlimited emails using the built-in, highly scalable email engine.

External Storage for Session Scope

Eliminate concerns about memory constraints to store session data with a configured external distributed store that retains data outside of memory. Get rid of sticky session configuration and enjoy complete load balancing across all cluster nodes.

Distributed cache

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.

API Developer Portal

Leverage your APIs to the maximum by establishing a secure platform for developer onboarding, engagement and management. Allow developers to explore and try APIs, refer to documentation, view and select usage plans and sign up and track usage using the built-in developer dashboard.

API Version and Lifecycle Management

Manage APIs across their lifecycle, from drafting to publishing to its deprecation and retirement. Upgrade APIs without backward compatibility by managing multiple versions using a single platform. Tweak the API settings without affecting the production server by configuring a test server.

API Rate Limiting and Throttling

Restrict access to APIs beyond a specified threshold based on the number of requests per unit of time. Select from predefined SLAs or create customised SLA plans. Set soft limits in which access is allowed but the user is notified and hard limits that deny access to additional requests.

API Monitoring

Obtain insights into usage or anticipate problems and prevent them with visibility into how your APIs, including individual methods, are being used by your customers. Track all aspects of API performance using standard metrics, such as hits, data transfer and more. Create a customised dashboard and have your most-used metrics at your fingertips.

API Caching

Reduce API latency and server-side load for data that does not change often. Configure the maximum response size to cache and cache time-out. Enable caching for the entire API or configure caching for specific operations of the API.

API Access Control

Secure your APIs by restricting access to authorised applications. Use basic authentication, API keys, OAuth or OAuth with a SAML-based authorisation server to ensure that only valid applications are allowed to make an API call.
