Running as a multithreaded process, ColdFusion Server provides a runtime environment for application logic and dynamic page generation. The server supports a broad range of services from database connectivity to full text searching to load balancing and failover. Developers and server administrators can use these services to deliver complex applications quickly and easily. ColdFusion applications use a proven page and component architecture. Applications are developed as a collection of scripted pages and components. When a page in a ColdFusion application is requested by a browser, ColdFusion Server processes the scripting in the page, interacts with any components, connects with backend systems, and dynamically generates the page that is returned to the browser.
