The Ortus Keynote gives you insight into Ortus Solutions, the past, present and future. You'll meet the members of Team Ortus, community members, speakers and sponsors. We'll tell you a story about CFML, which we think you will want to hear, and learn what Ortus and the community is doing for CFML and the future of CFML. You will get updates on an array of Ortus *Box products, including recent releases & upcoming plans and features in our roadmaps. We will finish with Ortus's plans for the future… as well as remind you of a driving force behind all things Ortus.

9. CAPTAIN CONTAINER

10. CONTAINERIZATION

11. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Over 50,000 pulls!
• 123 different tag flavors
(engines, OS, options)
• Ease of on-boarding and
rich configuration options
• Growing community
support network and
contributions

12. CONTAINERIZATION
STRATEGY
• Facilitate the deployment of
CFML apps - any engine,
anywhere (Except Windows)
• Provide simple and rich
mechanisms for runtime
configuration
• Develop, build, deploy on all
tiers with the same
configuration and
conventions

13. CONTAINERIZATION
STRATEGY
• Provide additional tooling
and instruction to
encourage increasing
adoption
• Provide support and
assistance for development
teams, through transition
• Faster, lighter, easier
configuration, more features!

14. SHIP IT!

15. MODERNIZATION
“MODERNIZE OR DIE!”
- LUIS MAJANO

16. MODERNIZATION STRATEGY
• Not everyone is on board with a
full rewrite. Instead consider
fearless progressive enhancement
• Microservices architecture to
sunset legacy apps ( use case
example )
• Keep up with your toolset -
Semper Discens! ( front-end, back-
end, storage, search )
• Be careful with shiny new pennies,
but set aside time to play too!

17. MODERNIZATION STRATEGY
• Perceived latency is king
now (< 3s )
• Mobile and Progressive app
considerations - modular
becomes essential, not
optional
• Pre-serializing your data
makes refactoring easier

18. SEARCH

19. ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Ortus continues to make a heavy
investment in search, because our clients
and their digital spaces demand it
• cbElasticsearch continues heavy
development - take advantage of the
lessons we're learning
( 1800+ installs, 25 iterative releases
since 4/17 )
• Surely you JEST - leveraging a stable and
well-maintained client, the Java JEST client
• Extensible and Flexible Client
architecture - Interfaced so you can plug
in your own client or roll your own!

20. SEARCH PATTERNS
• Increasingly seeing entire UI's consuming
only elasticsearch data, as a non-
authoritative No-SQL replacement - the
public never touches the database
• Admin patterns: develop as separate
applications with granular purposes in
maintenance of the authoritative data
• Removing common problems ( re-
indexing of large datasets, aliasing, joins,
etc )
• Keeping options open in a growing
space - logging, analytics, search insight…

Modernization is the KEY to

71. Deep Thought for the Day
Modernization can be an opportunity
instead of a cost so that in the future you
can avoid further opportunity cost

72. Why, When & What Should
We Choose to Modernize?
Modernization

73. AVOYA TRAVEL® | CONFIDENTIAL | © 2019
Why | The Right Tools for the Job
Teams need the right tools to help them
collaborate better and work more
efficiently by reducing friction in the
development process.
• Version Control [GitLab]
• Build Processes [GitLab/Elixir]
• Unit/Integration Testing [TestBox]
• Style Management [Lint]
• Code Deployment [Docker]

74. AVOYA TRAVEL® | CONFIDENTIAL | © 2019
Why | User Behavior And Expectations Change
Over time user behavior and expectations
change as competitors introduce
improvements to UX through “modern”
technologies.
• Responsive Design
• Personalization
• Speed
• Accessibility
• Voice Activation

75. AVOYA TRAVEL® | CONFIDENTIAL | © 2019 75
• In reaction to a change in status quo or to catch-up
• Once caught up, when you have time but continue to be informed of new and
emerging technologies
• When there is an opportunity to get ahead of technical debt

The Results
• 20% Increase in Conversion Rate YoY
• Decrease of Avg. Page Load Times By 37% YoY
• Over 50 Sales Campaigns Launched Within 3 Months with
Minimal Developer Resource Used
• Greater Visibility Than Ever
• Excitement with Internal Teams & Ability to Start Getting More Product and User Centric

81. • Legacy isn’t bad and technical debt isn’t scary, they just
need to be taken seriously. Similar to financial debt or any
liability they need to be considered and managed or you
can get yourself in real trouble.
• Modernization might look like you’re complicating the
stack but ultimately, when done right it simplifies the
process and results in a better product
• There is a light at the end of the tunnel

82. Thank You and Enjoy Day 2!
