ColdFusion 2025 CI/CD Pipeline with GitHub Actions, CommandBox, and Blue-Green Deploys

Building a modern CI/CD pipeline for ColdFusion 2025 rests on three tools: CommandBox (the CFML CLI and server runtime from Ortus Solutions, which installs dependencies, starts ColdFusion engines, and runs tests from the command line), GitHub Actions (the CI/CD platform that orchestrates the pipeline using YAML workflow files in .github/workflows/), and a blue-green deploy strategy (two identical production environments with a load balancer swap for zero-downtime releases and instant rollback). The official Ortus-Solutions/setup-commandbox GitHub Action installs CommandBox into any Actions runner in a single step. From there, you can start a ColdFusion 2025 server, run TestBox tests, build a Docker image, and switch traffic to a green environment — all without a human touching a server.
