Living in a legacy environment is like living in chains: you are restricted in all movement and capacity. Each new line of code you add and each new dependency you integrate on top of your legacy application, only make the chains stronger and your monolith will keep growing.
Ortus can help you tame your monolith and modernize today.

Docker announced Long term support for SWARM!!!! Swarm Lives
Here at Mirantis, we’re excited to announce our continued support for Docker Swarm, while also investing in new features requested by customers.
Following our acquisition of Docker Enterprise in November 2019, we affirmed at least two years of continued Swarm support, pending discussions with customers. These conversations have led us to the conclusion that our customers want continued support of Swarm without an implied end date.

Reminder: State of the CF Union 2020 Survey

Help us find out the state of the CF Union – what versions of CFML Engine do people use, what frameworks, tools etc. We will share the summary results with everyone who completes the survey so that you can see how you compare with other CF developers.
Most questions are multiple choice checkboxes that are fast to answer. Thanks for your time completing this survey!
