ColdFusion 2021 support ends Nov 10, 2026

Modernize ColdFusion without a risky rewrite.

Your ColdFusion app runs your business. We modernize everything around it: real monitoring, safe zero-downtime deploys, upgrades and security fixes, and a gradual path off legacy code when you are ready.

Sound familiar?

Great apps stuck on infrastructure from another era.

Here is what changes when you work with us.

The old way

  • ✕Deploy via FTP and cross your fingers
  • ✕Server crashes at 2 AM, and you get the call
  • ✕Something's slow but you have no idea why
  • ✕Traffic spike? Hope your one server can handle it
  • ✕No Git, no version control, just files on a server
  • ✕Code goes straight to production. No test environment.

With cfcloud

  • ✓Push your code and it deploys automatically
  • ✓You get an alert before users notice
  • ✓Dashboards show you exactly what's happening
  • ✓The app scales automatically when traffic grows
  • ✓Proper Git setup with branches and code reviews
  • ✓Dev, test and production environments, done right
What we do

Four steps. Start with any one.

Most teams start with See it or Ship it: quick, visible wins. When you are ready, Fix it and Free it take on the bigger work.

01

See it

"We find out from our users."

Real monitoring for your ColdFusion app: slow pages, slow queries, errors with stack traces, memory and CPU. Alerts reach you before your users do.

Technical details

OpenTelemetry Java agent, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope. Or Datadog / FusionReactor if you already use them.

02

Ship it

"Every deploy is scary."

Git, proper dev/test/production environments and automated pipelines. Deploy in the middle of the day with zero downtime, and roll back in one click.

Technical details

GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, Docker for CF2021/2023/2025 and Lucee, Kubernetes or VMs, rolling deploys, Redis sessions, autoscaling.

03

Fix it

"We're out of support and exposed."

ColdFusion, Java or Lucee upgrades, security hardening, SQL-injection cleanup and performance fixes. Adobe → Lucee if you want to cut licence costs.

Technical details

cfqueryparam cleanup, thread and request-queue tuning, memory-leak fixes, JVM tuning, patching, CVE remediation.

04

Free it

"The logic is trapped in old Fusebox code."

A codebase X-ray, business rules written in plain English, logic wrapped as APIs, and a gradual, test-verified move to .NET, Java, Node or React. One module at a time.

Technical details

Fusebox / FW/1 / ColdBox mapping, behaviour recording, AI-assisted conversion verified against the same tests, side-by-side rollout.

How it works

From first call to modernized.

  1. 1Free · 30 minutes

    We learn your setup

    We listen to your pain points and understand your app, your servers and what keeps you up at night.

  2. 21–2 weeks

    We build your roadmap

    A clear plan with costs, timeline and priorities. No surprises. You decide what to tackle first.

  3. 34–10 weeks

    We do the work

    We modernize while you keep running your business. Minimal disruption, regular check-ins.

  4. 4Ongoing

    You deploy with confidence

    Push code any time, see everything on your dashboards, and sleep through the night.

Don't take our word for it.

See it live: we trigger CPU spikes, errors and traffic floods on a real ColdFusion app and you watch the dashboards catch them, then a zero-downtime deploy. 20 minutes on a call.

About

Hi, I'm Subhi.

Founder of cfcloud · Team lead · Alexandria, Virginia

I've spent 10 years building enterprise solutions in ColdFusion and .NET, and today I lead a development team delivering and supporting enterprise applications.

  • Led projects migrating legacy ColdFusion applications to .NET APIs and React single-page apps
  • Wired 130+ APIs into Datadog for centralized logging and monitoring
  • Refactored slow SQL Server queries, stored procedures and views for real performance gains
  • Shipped cross-platform .NET MAUI apps to iOS and Windows, with Azure DevOps pipelines
  • Computer Science degree and published research on end-to-end encryption for data-driven apps

I started cfcloud because the same story keeps repeating: the ColdFusion app works and runs the business, but everything around it (deploys, monitoring, versions) is fragile. I fix that first, then help you move forward at your own pace, without a risky rewrite.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to rewrite my ColdFusion code?

No. We modernize everything around your app first. Your CFML stays the same. We only change code when you ask us to: performance fixes, security fixes, upgrades, or a gradual move off ColdFusion.

ColdFusion 2021 is going out of support. What should we do?

Adobe ends ColdFusion 2021 support on November 10, 2026. After that there are no security patches, which can put PCI DSS and HIPAA compliance at risk. The usual options are upgrading to a supported Adobe version, moving to Lucee, or wrapping and gradually replacing the app. The assessment tells you which fits.

Which ColdFusion versions do you support?

ColdFusion 2018, 2021, 2023, 2025 and Lucee 5.x/6.x. If you are on something older, we can upgrade you as part of the work.

Do I have to move to Kubernetes?

No. Kubernetes is one option. We also work with Windows VMs, Linux servers and on-prem infrastructure, and recommend what fits your team, budget and comfort level.

What is cfcloud Observe?

Our open-source monitoring for ColdFusion, built on Grafana and OpenTelemetry. It covers what most teams use FusionReactor for, without per-server licence fees. Self-install it, have us set it up, or let us host it.

How long does a typical modernization take?

The assessment takes 1–2 weeks. A Foundation engagement (Git, environments, CI/CD, monitoring) usually takes 4–6 weeks. A full modernization runs 8–10 weeks. You see improvements from week one.

Will there be downtime?

We design for zero downtime: the new setup runs alongside your current one, we test everything, then switch traffic over gradually.

Can my team manage this after you leave?

That is the point. We document everything and walk your team through the dashboards and pipelines. Ongoing support is optional.

Where does our code run?

Your code stays on your servers or in our private Akamai Cloud environment. It is never shared or used anywhere else.

What does the free 30-minute call look like?

We listen, ask about your app, servers and pain points, and give honest advice on what would help most. No sales pitch. If it makes sense to work together, we outline next steps.
