Your ColdFusion application is ready for its next chapter, but your development team already has priorities to deliver.

Before moving forward with migration or modernization, consider:

→ What challenges are we trying to address?
→ How much additional work can our team take on?
→ Where could outside expertise make a difference?
→ How will we measure success?

In our latest article, we explore how to approach these decisions, drawing on Ortus Solutions' experience supporting SignUpGenius, where a small engineering team needed to keep its existing roadmap on track.
Discover practical ways to establish project scope, coordinate teams, measure outcomes, and ensure knowledge is shared throughout the process.

Still running Adobe ColdFusion 2021? The extended support period ends November 10, 2026.

With less than four weeks to go, now is the time to decide what comes next for your application.

The deadline won’t switch your application off. It does mark the end of Adobe’s extended support for ColdFusion 2021. Core support already ended in 2025, and the extended support period does not include security patches or hotfixes.

Running an older ColdFusion version without a plan may put your application at risk already. Check your version and support status, review your dependencies and infrastructure, and compare your options: upgrade, plan a gradual modernization, or assess whether BoxLang is a fit for your application.

Our new article explains what the deadline means and the steps your team can take now.

Your ColdFusion application may be 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years old.

That doesn't mean you need to rewrite it.

In many cases, the smarter approach is to modernize incrementally, improving the areas creating the most friction while preserving the business logic that already works.

Inspired by Michael Rigsby's excellent Into the Box session, we look at how this approach can reduce the cost and risk of modernizing mature CFML applications.

If you could modernize one part of your ColdFusion application today, what would it be?

[Ortus Solutions @ortussolutions]

Every team needs someone who asks, “But what happens if…?” 🔍

Meet Tom Buettell, our Senior QA Development Specialist at Ortus Solutions! His QA superpower is spotting the gap between what your application should do and what actually happens when people use it.

An unexpected click. A workflow nobody tested. An edge case that slipped through. Tom looks beyond the expected path to help teams uncover risks earlier and release with greater confidence. 💪
