35. What types of DEVELOPMENT setups do you use? (Check all that apply)*

... yes, I know, but all the code is mine, so I can usually get away with this.
None - don't say it. Yes, I know. But every line of code is mine so I usually get away with this.
1 Coldfusion instance per developer
Learning docker, commandBox, etc. need more
A shared staging web server used by all devs, with a shared staging DB server (3 environments - dev, stage, prod)
Kubernetes
Remote Desktop to client's dev environment server
custom built tools integrated with github enterprise
local development, testing, then transfert to the server.
We are trying Docker right now

36. What types of PRODUCTION deployments do you use? (Check all that apply)*

Others

GIT
Shared hosting for external CF sites, own installations on VMs in LAN for internal sites and applications.

Others

Ntirety (was HostMySite, sold to Hosting.com, sold to Ntirety). Hostek will be my choice if the CF knowledge at Ntirety continues to drop.
Started at HostMySite, who sold to Hosting.com, who sold to Ntirety. Hostek will be my next (and only) move. Ntirety is sadly losing support knowledge on ColdFusion.

41. How do you lock down your servers for security? (Check all that apply)*

At least I didn't check "What's security?", Lol.
It is not my duty, I don't know

Aws WAF
Actually I need to check that

42. Have your CF servers suffered from a hacking exploit in the last 2 years due to a CF-based vector? (Remember, this is anonymous) (Check all that apply)*

Others

I ensure that our CF installations are up to date and I code for secure pages. Have never been hacked via ColdFusion. Hope I didn't just jinx my company by saying that.
Not sure
Lucee still has unpatched RCEs (june 2022)
Word press on server let them in
No- but. Not at all pleased with Adobe's speed of updates esp Log4j 1.x
Log4j
Lucee admin hack
Not knowingly
Windows exploited
Not that I'm aware of
out of date version - who likes to upgrade? Put it off as long as possible
windows 2008 R2 server, I do not know how.

43. Are you using or planning to use AWS Lambda (serverless) (Check all that apply)*

Others

Not sure
Managed by another team - I don't know
No, but I want to, don't I? Should I? We are researching options to reduce spend and improve release SOP
Will consider
Node
maybe
Not sure
Uncertain
no sure
Possibly, we use it outside of CF already
Lambda with Node
Quite possibly. I was just made aware of this option.
Have used it for years, but not running CFML on it
Yes, but not with CFML
Se use AWS Lambda directly with Node.js and integrate its API with CF
Node.js Lambda on AWS
Not my call. I don't know if that's a plan for some clients or not.
Lambda with Node.js
No I wasn't aware of it so not planning to yet.
No, but it may be planned in middle terms
It's on our radar as a possibility but nothing planned
Would like more info on this
never heard of it
