"The Many Ways to Run CF or Lucee", with Charlie Arehart

After some time off, we're happy to announce the next Online ColdFusion Meetup to be held Thursday June 8th at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4:

"The Many Ways to Run CF or Lucee", with Charlie Arehart

Meeting URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tnd3RQZy0w

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

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 Lucee, 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.
