Containerization has accelerated testing cycles and consistently reduced time to market
Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is a very mature product, and I don't think there is a lot of improvement that they need to do on their end. The Docker team is coming up with new features, and integration with the IDE, for example, would be amazing. Support on Windows is not so great from Docker, so that is something that they could examine. I chose nine out of ten for Docker on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS because I think they could improve a little more on optimization. It sometimes demands a lot of RAM and computing power, so that is one area that the Docker team could improve upon.

The best features Lucee CFML Server offers include high performance, it is lightweight, it is open source so multiple people built upon it, it has great admin features where you can log in and create different processes, and it has seamless integration with Java. Out of those features, I find myself relying on high performance and ease of use the most. While using CFML since ColdFusion 7 came out, I discovered that Lucee CFML Server is very easy to understand someone else's code. It is simple and streamlined, and it is fortunate that you can quickly manipulate a program into whatever you need to do without adding so many actual layers of code.
