Source Stack · ColdFusion

Migrate off ColdFusion. Before the talent disappears entirely.

ColdFusion served its purpose for two decades — but the platform's future is uncertain, the developer pool has all but evaporated, and every unpatched CVE is another board-level risk. Our AI factory parses your entire CFML codebase and converts it into a modern stack your team can actually hire for. Phased delivery. Full IP ownership. 3-5x faster than a manual rewrite.

Deep CFML parsing in the factory. Proven ColdFusion-to-modern-stack conversion pipeline.

  • Full CFML parsing
  • Business logic extraction
  • Behavioral equivalence tests
  • Phased cutover

The ColdFusion dead end

The talent is gone. The CVEs keep coming. There's a way out.

The problem with staying

ColdFusion developers are retiring and not being replaced. Every year, your bus factor gets worse. Adobe's licensing costs keep climbing while platform investment stagnates. And every new CVE disclosure is a scramble — you can't patch fast enough, and you can't audit what you can't staff.

The problem with manual rewrites

ColdFusion codebases are deceptively complex — CFML templates, CFCs, stored procedures, and inline SQL are tightly interwoven. Manual rewrites take 2-4 years and routinely lose business logic. Teams burn out reverse-engineering undocumented behavior.

Inside the ColdFusion factory

AI parses your CFML codebase. Architects own the structure.

CFML parsing

Our AI ingests your ColdFusion templates, components (CFCs), custom tags, configuration files, and embedded SQL. It builds a complete map of every page, business rule, data flow, and integration. Every artifact is logged and inspectable.

Target generation

The AI emits idiomatic code in your chosen target stack — Node.js, .NET, Java/Spring, Python (Django, FastAPI), or React. SQL and stored procedure logic is preserved and restructured for the target ORM or data layer. Senior architects review every structural decision.

Equivalence testing

Before any cutover, the AI synthesizes behavioral tests that compare new system output against the live ColdFusion system. Page by page, query by query. You migrate on a passing diff, not on faith.

Three engagement stages

We prove conversion quality before you commit to the full migration.

Start with a fixed-price diagnostic. If the conversion quality doesn't meet your bar, you owe nothing beyond the diagnostic fee.

Proof of Architecture Diagnostic

Fixed price · 3–4 week turnaround · fee credited to full migration

Provide a representative section of your CFML codebase. We run it through the AI engine and deliver converted output with a full technical audit, dependency map, and complexity scoring.

Migration Factory

Fixed price · scoped per module · phased delivery

SLA-backed AI conversion of your entire ColdFusion estate. Phased releases with parallel running.

Enablement & Residency

6–12 month retainer

Architectural support to onboard your team into the new codebase, CI/CD pipelines, and delivery cadence. We stay until your team owns it fully — no handover cliff.

Questions we get

Straight answers to the objections that come up first.

Do you just point an AI chatbot at our code and ask it to rewrite it?

No. We parse your ColdFusion source into a complete structural map first — every entity, screen, business rule, and integration — deterministically, not by asking a model to guess what your code does. AI accelerates the generation step from that map; a senior architect reviews every structural decision; behavioral equivalence tests verify the result against your live system before any cutover.

What happens to our code and data during the process?

Your source and data are used only to produce your migration deliverables — never to train or fine-tune any AI model. Access is scoped to what a given phase actually needs, and production data access, where required at all, is time-boxed by agreement. Everything delivered is yours outright, with no ongoing dependency on us.

Does a human actually review this before it ships?

Yes, always. Every architecture decision, every equivalence-test result, and every cutover is reviewed and signed off by a senior architect before it reaches production. AI handles the volume; it doesn't approve its own work.

We're not ready to commit to a full migration — can we still talk?

That's what the feasibility opinion below is for. Send the basics and a senior architect will give you an honest read — including "this probably isn't worth it yet" if that's the honest answer — before any paid engagement.

No sales call required. Send the basics and a senior architect will reply with an honest read before you commit to a paid diagnostic.

Next step

Ready to move off ColdFusion?

Start with the Proof of Architecture Diagnostic. Fixed price, 3–4 weeks, and the fee is credited against the full migration if you proceed. We'll convert a representative section of your CFML codebase to your chosen target so you can judge the output before committing.
