And to continue learning how to make your ColdFusion apps more modern and alive, I encourage you to download our free ColdFusion Alive Best Practices Checklist. Because… perhaps you are responsible for a mission-critical or revenue-generating CF application that you don’t trust 100%, where implementing new features is a painful ad-hoc process with slow turnaround even for simple requests. What if you have no contingency plan for a sudden developer departure or a server outage? Perhaps every time a new freelancer works on your site, something breaks. Or your application availability, security, and reliability are poor. And if you are depending on ColdFusion for your job, then you can’t afford to let your CF development methods die on the vine. You’re making a high-stakes bet that everything is going to be OK using the same old app creation ways in that one language — forever. All it would take is for your fellow CF developer to quit or for your CIO to decide to leave the (falsely) perceived sinking ship of CFML and you could lose everything—your project, your hard-won CF skills, and possibly even your job. Luckily, there are a number of simple, logical steps you can take now to protect yourself from these obvious risks.

Interview Transcript:
Michael: Welcome back to the show. I'm here with Guust Nieuwenhuis. I hope I'm saying name right there. It sounds pretty Belgium to me. And we're going to be talking about continuous integration in ColdFusion with a bit bucket pipelines. And Guust is doing a talk at C.F. camp on plumbing with bit bucket pipelines. So, we're going to look at what those are, and why all ColdFusion developers might want to have a look at those. And why doing continuous integration in continuous development are a good thing. What he likes about the bit bucket repository. And we'll also look at how integrates with Docker containers, and how you can use it on your team. So welcome Guust.
Guust: Thank you, thank you for having me.
Michael: And if you don't know Guust, he has been a ColdFusion developer for a while. He's a full stack developer and he's currently developing his own part product Pedrilo [01:01] which is a Lucian solution for music. And that's one of his hobbies he plays the double bass so. And the drums, so very talented man.
Guust: thank you
Michael: So for those who haven't come across it, first of all, what is bit bucket, and then what is bit bucket pipelines?
Guust: Well, before you answer what is bit bucket, maybe we should even answer what is Git, and what is [inaudible] [01:35] For those who haven't heard about it. The last few years [inaudible] repositories are central place where you can host your teams, or your individual codes for a project. And one of those solutions for doing that is Git. Git's been very popular last couple of years, and a lot of people are using it very actively. There are a couple of cloud based solutions for Git servers, and one of them is a very well-known one is GitHub, but the other one you could say is the clouds Git repository by Atlassian. And so, that's what Git does solution to host your Git repositories, your project actually. And then pipelines I guess what’s Git pipelines?
