Finding the arguments about increased productivity, maintenance, employability, and community testing persuasive, has to be highly considered while architecturing enterprise level applications. You may have finally joined and consulted large number of people or senior architects with vast experience in the areas to design or help you build the skeletons.
While most of you might be aware of ColdFusion community frameworks over there that can help you to be that start points or architectural help beacons in building such applications. Since the framework space has exploded in the last few years with so many new frameworks and so many different areas, it is very difficult to keep up. So you’re left with a hard task: deciding which framework, or even combination of frameworks, is right for you.
Having in the space of ColdFusion Development for almost 15+ Years with over 100+ qualified developers and experience in handling product design and development across various domains, after consulting our senior architect team and performing a detailed evaluation and assessment of various available frameworks we bring you the top 10 frameworks that can be of great help for your teams, company and ultimately for you.
1. Framework-one / fw1

6. oarevalo / BugLogHQ

7. aarongreenlee / Hoth
Simply it is exception tracking for ColdFusion. Hoth is quite simple. You provide it with a ColdFusion Exception and Hoth will hash the stacktrace to determine if the exception has been observed before. Each unique stacktrace is considered to be a unique error. Hashing the stacktrace allows Hoth to assign unique exceptions their own ID and quickly determine if new exceptions have already been reported.

8. ten24 / slatwall
Slatwall is the commerce platform you will never outgrow. Designed from the ground up for maximum flexibility, Slatwall enables you to execute marketing strategies that will allow you to capitalize on emerging opportunities.

9. Framework-one / di1
DI/1 – Inject One – leverages some simple conventions to provide a Dependency Injection / Inversion of Control framework in a single file. Intended to require near-zero configuration, DI/1 manages your application model (beans, services etc) without worrying about a framework getting in your way.
DI/1 acts as a simple bean factory that offers containsBean(name), getBean(name) and parent bean factory functionality so it can be used with FW/1 or most other frameworks that support bean factories.
