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.

And it's even I I'm almost thinking it's almost an AI. But I know it's not really an AI. But it actually only kind of keeps track of intelligent stuff as to potential problems, what we're going to whatever it does, that's new, I know, it can also tie into some other tools like Slack, and other things, too, with the alerts. So welcome, David. Thank you. Welcome to you soon. So what exactly is future from reactive cloud just in a sentence or two, just in a sentence or two? Okay, well, fusion reactor cloud

David Tattersal 1:15
since August of this year, we've actually been running it for about one and a half years, actually, we had a closed beta, where we had a number of customers that showed interest in the cloud, they were participating in the pizza. But we've been we've pushed it officially, officially, along with fusion reactor seven, which was in August of this year, what does cloud do so basically, even think of cloud as extending a fusion reactor on premise. So if you take a cloud licensee, if you purchase the cloud license, then you get fusion reactor on premise, just like you had before. And you also get a fusion reactor Cloud account.
