Get LuCLI And Win at Managing Lucee!

LuCLI is the CLI toolbox for all things Lucee! It can supercharge your development and prototyping. This session will show you how you can get into the development groove with LuCLI and power up your development!

What if managing Lucee servers, executing CFML scripts, and developing applications could all happen from a single, powerful terminal interface?

LuCLI brings the Lucee CFML engine directly into your command line, offering both interactive REPL-style development and scriptable automation. In this session, we'll explore how LuCLI transforms the CFML development workflow with features developers have come to expect from modern tooling.

What you'll learn:

•  Instant server management — Start, stop, and monitor Lucee servers per-project with simple commands and lucee.json configuration

•  Interactive CFML terminal — Execute CFML expressions, test components, and explore APIs without spinning up a full application

•  Environment-based configuration — Seamlessly switch between dev, staging, and production settings

•  Real-time JMX monitoring — ASCII dashboards showing memory, threads, and performance metrics at a glance

•  Module system — Extend LuCLI with reusable CFML-based modules

We'll cover the architecture decisions behind embedding Lucee in a CLI, demonstrate practical workflows for local development, and show how LuCLI can integrate into CI/CD pipelines. Whether you're managing multiple projects, prototyping ideas, or automating deployment tasks, you'll leave with new tools for your CFML toolkit.

Who should attend: CFML developers looking to modernize their development workflow and anyone curious about building developer tools with Lucee.
