10 Steps To A High Performing ColdFusion Application, Clustering ColdFusion

If ColdFusion applications were effectively load tested before being put into production, almost all if not literally all subsequent problems could be avoided.  Yet, in my experience less than 3% of CF applications do get effectively load tested, of course this does not only apply to ColdFusion but all other web/application paradigms. What I have found is that many organizations perceive load-testing to either be very expensive to do, mainly due to the high cost of such tools as LoadRunner or SilkPerformer and that creating load test scripts is overly complex and very time consuming.  With the appropriate tools neither is true.

What I will be demonstrating is the creation of a load test and the running of that load test against a real application.  The location of a problem and the mitigation of that problem and the resulting benefit.  Attendees to my session will hopefully go away with the perception that load-testing is effective and easy to configure and that the benefits of load-testing are huge.
