Ben Nadel demonstrates that the isNumeric() and numberFormat() functions can work with very large numbers in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61. Though, the numberFormat() function does start to get funky once you reach the sextillions….

Ben Nadel revisits the idea of a “natural sort order” in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61, this time performing an in-place sort rather than creating an intermediary array. This allows the native sort and the natural sort algorithms to be interchanged seamlessly….

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to scan infrastructure-as-code as part of your code review process. Using Terraform, GitHub Actions, and Bridgecrew, we’ll show you how to find, fix, and prevent cloud misconfigurations.

Infrastructure-as-code (sometimes referred to as infrastructure code or abbreviated as IaC) is used to automate infrastructure deployment, scaling, and management using machine-readable configuration files.

Using infrastructure-as-code

Before we dive in, let’s talk a bit about the use cases of infrastructure-as-code frameworks like Terraform. Terraform provides ready-made infrastructure-as-code modules to build and scale cloud-hosted web applications with just a few lines of code. As that benefit has become more evident for teams deploying to complex multi-cloud environments, Terraform adoption has skyrocketed.

Ben Nadel looks at one possible way to take a CFThread tag that was spawned on one page; and then, terminate it from another ColdFusion page using a Closure in Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61….

Ben Nadel looks at “task” side of the CFThread tag introduced by Lucee CFML; and, how a “task” thread might be used to run a series of persistent background CFThread tags in a Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61 application….

Ben Nadel demonstrates that the CFSetting RequestTimeout property affects both the top-level page requests as well as the asynchronous CFThread tags within a Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61 application. This was a big blind-spot in the way he thought the CFThread tag worked….

Ben Nadel attempts to generate an interactive PowerPoint (PPT) based on an interactive InVision prototype using Lucee CFML 5.3.6.61 and the Apache POI project. While it only supports “click” actions, we can create a delightfully fun experience!…
