What frameworks are people using in 2019?

[Tenakha]

I'm coming back to CF after a 10 year hiatus. (Been doing Java/Perl/Python in between (sorry!)) [I remember people using ColdBox / Fusebox / FW/1]

I am building a car classifieds web site - with a mysql backend.

Ideally would want to host on cloud (especially the images).

I want to use modern CF techniques rather than old school - would be grateful for: a) list of articles, b) books, c) recommendations.

What should I be considering in terms of frameworks / patterns now?

As more and more things move to the front end, I find that FW1 is the perfect fit for a lightweight framework to mediate with server side business logic. provide API facade etc. Very lightweight and mature

I'm using FW1. There is excellent documentation, and it is relatively lightweight, yet does everything I would need. 

The other alternative would be ColdBox. The ecosystem is more complex, and maybe more complete in a way, but you have to buy into the Coldbox way of doing things.

I use Lucee for all new development, and now avoid using a Hibernate wrapper, or ORM. Hibernate seems useful until you run into a bug, which you can't do much about, particularly since the Hibernate wrappers lag well behind Hibernate itself and don't get much attention, although the Lucee team seems better on this front. I can fix my own sql, generally within minutes, but need to work around Hibernate wrapper issues as it make take years for a bug to be addressed.
