CF is just like any updated service that has configurations and programmatic extensions. You have to stay on top of any program language and aware of what is happening.
Are you keeping the OS maintained properly with patches, security fixes and scheduled downtime for additonal maintenance? Is the web server being patched, updated for increased load and regularily checking the logs and security? Is there testing of code in a mirrored development environment? Is anyone reading the CF logs? Is anyone code checking and submitting change configurations for code research? Does the administrator maintaining the server aware of the JVM? Does he/she understand how to change it? If you cannot yes to all of these, you are going to have possible ways for instability. The point here is not identitfy what people are not doing, but rather that CF cannot be held responsible for the faults of the other technologies and those maintaining the environment. CF is not just install and poof it works. CF is a J2EE enabled solution and should be treated as such by people who understand that it a legitimate enterprise environment.
