Awesome shoutout to Ortus in the Boxteam Slack from Don Ballamy

Shoutout to the Ortus team!  A few weeks ago we had a major security incident on our network at Azure (not CF related) that caused us to rebuild our entire network of virtual machines.  We hired a security firm to oversee the rebuild and one of our legacy API apps running on CF 11 was flagged and had to be upgraded to CF 2021 (we had planned to, but time had been limiting it).  I spent a few days trying, this app was originally written in ColdFusion 8, but then gave up and decided to rewrite the entire API application using ColdBox 6.  I was able to rebuild the entire application in 3 days.  Without the tools you guys create and work on a daily basis, this would not have been possible.  Thank You!
