ColdFusion Development & Modernization
Keep your ColdFusion app alive — or modernize it for good
ColdFusion powers thousands of business-critical apps, but the agencies who understand CFML are disappearing. We're one of the few that still do it well. Whether you need to maintain an aging Adobe ColdFusion codebase, migrate to Lucee to cut licensing costs, or plan a phased move to a modern stack, we keep your application stable and your options open.
How we approach it
Legacy CFML Maintenance
Bug fixes, security patches, and new features on existing Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee codebases — including CF versions other shops won't touch. We stabilize first, then improve.
ColdFusion Modernization
Refactor tangled CFML into maintainable, testable code. Untangle spaghetti includes, remove deprecated tags, and bring the app up to a supported CF or Lucee runtime.
Lucee Migration
Move from expensive Adobe ColdFusion licenses to open-source Lucee. We handle the compatibility audit, tag/function differences, and cutover so you cut cost without breaking the app.
Migrate Off ColdFusion
When it's time to leave CF behind, we plan a phased, low-risk migration to a modern stack (React + Node.js or similar) — running old and new side by side so the business never stops.
Database & Integration Work
ColdFusion apps live and die by their database. We optimize the MSSQL or MySQL layer behind your CFML and wire in modern APIs, payment providers, and third-party services.
Security & Hosting
Lock down known ColdFusion vulnerabilities, update the runtime, and move the app to modern, monitored hosting on AWS — no more mystery server under a desk.
What we deliver
Common questions
What is ColdFusion modernization?
ColdFusion modernization is the process of bringing an aging CFML application up to date — upgrading the runtime, refactoring legacy code, patching security holes, and optionally migrating to open-source Lucee or a modern stack. The goal is a stable, supportable, secure app without a risky big-bang rewrite.
Should I migrate off ColdFusion or keep it?
It depends on the app. If it works and just needs maintenance, keeping it on a supported CF or Lucee runtime is the cheapest safe path. If you're blocked on hiring, fighting licensing costs, or the code is unmaintainable, a phased migration to a modern stack pays off. We'll give you an honest assessment either way.
Can you reduce our Adobe ColdFusion licensing costs?
Usually, yes. Migrating to Lucee — an open-source, CFML-compatible engine — eliminates Adobe license fees entirely. We audit your code for compatibility, resolve the differences, and handle the cutover.
Do you still take on legacy ColdFusion projects?
Yes — this is a niche we deliberately serve. Many agencies have dropped ColdFusion entirely, which is exactly why businesses come to us to keep their CF apps running or modernize them safely.
What does a ColdFusion project cost?
Small maintenance engagements start around $1,000. Modernization and Lucee migrations are scoped per project after a code audit, and full migrations to a modern stack start at $15,000+. We provide fixed-price quotes — no surprises.
