We're happy to announce another session of the Online ColdFusion Meetup to be held Thursday Sep 10th at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4. The full title, which had to be truncated a bit here in the Meetup.com UI, is "Differences between ColdFusion Enterprise & Standard: more than you may think". (Sorry for the last minute notice: I'm taking the opp to fill the slot which remained open for various reasons.)

Like the past few weeks, it will be held via Zoom, including the option to dial in:

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

Most people know that there are differences between CF Enterprise and Standard, most notably the price, of course! But if pressed, I suspect most people could not name more than a couple other differences or perhaps a few, but there are literally dozens. And while you may think you "don't need" Enterprise when it "costs so much more", you may be surprised to find some things that could in fact be "worth it" compared to remaining on Standard: whether from a performance standpoint, in terms of certain tags that are throttled in Standard; or from a licensing standpoint, in terms how many more CPU cores are supported by Enterprise than Standard. It may even be possible that it would be less expensive for you to license CF Enterprise rather than Standard.

In this session, veteran server troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will walk through the many areas that there are differences, some having to do with how CFML features may vary, or how CF Admin or even how CFBuilder features may vary. Is CF Enterprise right for you? Or is Standard "good enough"? In this session, it should become more clear for you, or at least you can be more confident/accurate about discussing the differences. Again, there's a LOT of misinformation/misunderstanding, as I watch discussions of the differences in the community. (And yes, of course, many will want to point out that there is the entirely free Lucee engine. If it suits your needs, that's an option. It doesn't suit everyone's needs, so it's not like it's "pointless" to discuss the differences between paying for CF Enterprises vs Standard.)

You may even learn about things that are possible in Standard that you didn't know where there, when discussed relative to or indeed as as an alternative to Enterprise-only functionality.
