CF Can Scale! by Ben Forta Barely a day goes by without someone wanting me to reassure them that ColdFusion scales. Whether it's Web administrators who are experiencing poor application performance, partners who want to be sure ColdFusion can handle their anticipated load, developers whose bosses are threatening their jobs over failed deployments, or press and analysts positioning ColdFusion as a "low-end solution." Whichever it is, inevitably I end up in the position of defending ColdFusion and its scalability.
