Using either postman or a provided JS UI which they will not need to edit the attendee will: Open CommandBox and do a new Coldbox Installation Use CFConfig to create a datasource from values stored in the .env file. Use Migrations to create the data base schema and pre-populate data Create two endpoints, two handlers and two models to support the UI Create Quick Entities for saving data to two of the tables Use QB to retrieve data from two other tables Use CBValidation to validate data coming in from the UI Other items which time and logical inclusion permit. The goal is that the attendee will be comfortable enough with each of the products to dive deeper into the docs when the need arises. For each of the products / sections, we’ll do a “where do you go from here” which can talk about next steps. i.e. - “Today we used CBValidation to ensure the min / max and data type coming in. Here are some of the other objects and ways you can validate on such as structs, rows in the database and more. Here are the docs. ” Topics CommandBox AWS Quick Qb Speaker Dan Card Javier Quintero https://2025.intothebox.org/into-the-box/sessions/just-enough-workshop-commandbox-coldbox-cfconfig-migrations-quick-qb-cbvalidation Fri, 11 Apr 2025 09:36:00 GMT joharamirez@ortussolutions.com (Johana Ramirez) https://2025.intothebox.org/into-the-box/sessions/just-enough-workshop-commandbox-coldbox-cfconfig-migrations-quick-qb-cbvalidation Workshop Development and Hosting using Docker, CI/CD, and AWS ECS Are you interested in deploying your application in a container and running it in the cloud but aren't sure where to get started? Maybe you have never deployed an application to the cloud or used Docker before.This workshop will have something for everyone interested in cloud-based container deployments. This workshop will cover many topics as we take a blank git repository and finish with a docker-based application running on AWS Fargate and using automated CI/CD. As bonus material, we will even cover database migrations, local database development, and some basic networking. The best part is that by the end of this workshop, you will have your own repository to use as a reference or as a template moving forward! Those who choose to attend this workshop should be familiar with basic git usage. You will also need a GitHub account and an AWS account, preferably with an active free plan (if you want to deploy your code). Expect this workshop to move quickly and cover a lot of information. We will have multiple people to lead the workshop and be available to help if anyone gets stuck as well as a targeted Q/A time at the end. Objective By the end of this workshop, users will have an understanding, including hands-on training, of how to successfully build and deploy a web application using Docker and AWS. Audience Application developers who are looking to understand how to evolve their development process to take advantage of modern best practices of using Docker containers, CI/CD, and cloud hosting. Prerequisites The following are the workshop requirements for this workshop: A laptop computer with suitable resources and the following packages installed Java 11-15 CommandBox A working CFML repository with database connectivity to test deployments A GitHub account to create packages and test CI/CD actions An AWS account to provision and deploy infrastructure Docker Topics AWS Docker ECS Speakers Daniel Garcia Jacob Beers https://2025.intothebox.org/into-the-box/sessions/just-enough-workshop-commandbox-coldbox-cfconfig-migrations-quick-qb-cbvalidation Fri, 11 Apr 2025 09:31:00 GMT dvega@ortussolutions.com (Davis Vega) https://2025.intothebox.org/into-the-box/sessions/just-enough-workshop-commandbox-coldbox-cfconfig-migrations-quick-qb-cbvalidation Lucid Outsourcing Solutions Bronze Sponsor at ITB 2025 Welcome to Lucid Outsourcing Solutions, where we redefine the digital environment with creative solutions adapted to your needs.
