It can be difficult to secure large or legacy codebases, we'll look at some practical approaches to getting in there and making progress. We'll also review some of the top vulnerabilities to watch out for, which also provide a good starting point.https://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/events/265565548/Want to speak - read more here - https://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2019/10/9/come_speak_on_the_cfmeetup MongoDB Lucee Extension V1.0.0 releasedWe are very excited to bring you a new commercial product release for the Ortus Family: MongoDB Server Lucee Extension  The MongoDB Server Lucee Extension allows you to natively connect to a MongoDB Server cluster and leverage it for distributed caching, session/client storage and distribution, cluster RAM file systems, and much more.

Anything "holding steady" in Redis makes me suspicious, especially over the course of several months, as I would expect the Redis resource consumption to ebb-and-flow with the natural rhythm of user engagement. As such, I wanted to start digging into the Redis data to see if anything looked wonky. To aid in this discovery process (and to have some fun), I created a super light-weight Redis Key Scanner using Lucee CFML 5.2.8.50 and Jedis, which I can run locally using CommandBox.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3706-building-a-simple-redis-key-scanner-using-lucee-cfml-5-2-8-50-and-jedis....
