Brad Wood talks about "CommandBox Workflow magic (modules to speed up CF development)" in this episode of the CF Alive Podcast, with host Michaela Light. Show notes Why use Workflows in your CF coding? You probably already do use workflows if you don't call them that Eg  source control steps Bitbucket Pipelines Local dev → staging → production Ticketing system Shared tools for code formatting Scripts to automate common tasks Teams and Individual developers What is CommandBox? CLI = Command Line Interface for CFML Lots of addons written in CFML Built in help Very colorful ASCII art too REPL Integrated shell Run multiple CF virtual server on one machine, different versions of ACF and Lucee Auto install Fast test of different versions Command line automation Task runners Batch Scripting in CFML!  - more powerful than BASH Package management Libraries used in your app install and correct versioning ForgeBox integration Modern CFML more powerful ecosystem than Node, Pyphon etc Written in CFML, runs on top of JVM Open source CommandBox Modules to improve workflow Bullet Train - https://www.forgebox.io/view/commandbox-bullet-train  Saves time knowing what you are doing the CLI Fun too! Dotenv - https://www.forgebox.io/view/commandbox-dotenv  Makes personalizing passwords, databases, SMTP server etc for each dev easy Keeps passwords out of your CF code and source control - more secure Cfconfig - https://www.forgebox.io/view/commandbox-cfconfig  Back up and restore CF Admin settings - even between different CF versions or ACF and Lucee CommandBox and Docker instances create settings automatically  Disaster Recovery - easy restore of settings Save settings to source control (though careful about passwords for datasources) Dev vs production settings quick for locking down a server Diff of settings between two servers - diagnosis settings bugs Host updater - https://www.forgebox.io/view/commandbox-hostupdater  Easy management of local host names vs IP addresses - a local DNS override in effect Keeps hosts file clean when you stop using that virtual server. FusionReactor - https://www.forgebox.io/view/commandbox-fusionreactor  Adds easy support to enable FusionReactor on the servers you start inside CommandBox.
