Performance tuning for ColdFusion applications

Performance is a key aspect of any application or server, and ColdFusion is no exception. Performance for Internet applications that many users can access is particularly important. Since ColdFusion is both a server and a language (CFML) there are multiple approaches to performance improvement. This article explores different ways to improve the performance of ColdFusion applications on ColdFusion 8.0.1. It comprises three sections on performance tuning with Java Virtual Machine (JVM) parameters, ColdFusion Administrator settings, and coding best practices, as well as a case study of the BlogCFC application to illustrate the performance gains that can be achieved by applying the concepts described.

Requirements

In order to make the most of this article, you need the following software and files:

ColdFusion 8

Prerequisite knowledge

A basic understanding of Java and JVM memory management will be helpful, as will familiarity with ColdFusion Administrator and CFML.
