Your legacy ColdFusion app still runs the business, but every change feels like a march into Mordor.
On November 5, 2026, Michaela Light, CEO of TeraTech, will lead a webinar with Adobe to help you choose your next step for your business-critical ColdFusion applications.
Whether you're considering an upgrade, modernization, or a complete rewrite, this webinar will help you find a clearer path forward.

The Big ColdFusion Question Has Changed
Back in 2018, everyone was asking Michaela Light, “Is ColdFusion dying?”
After 144 CF Alive podcast episodes, the answer is clear. ColdFusion is alive, and Adobe keeps forging new features into it.
But a healthy ColdFusion platform doesn't always mean a healthy ColdFusion application.
Many CIOs still manage aging applications with code that hasn't been reviewed in years. Security concerns, performance problems, and limited developer knowledge can make even small changes feel risky.
So the real question in Middleware-Earth is this:
What should you do with the legacy ColdFusion applications your business depends on?
What You'll Learn in 45 Minutes
During this 45-minute webinar, Michaela will share practical guidance to help you:
- Find the hidden risks: Identify security gaps, slow pages, and code only one person understands.
- Pick the right path: Decide whether to keep, upgrade, modernize, or rewrite your ColdFusion application.
- Fix what matters first: Address critical issues while keeping your business running.
- Reduce developer dependency: Free your team from relying on one lone unicorn developer.
- Add AI safely: Explore the new AI capabilities in ColdFusion 2026.
- Build a clear roadmap: Learn what to fix now, improve next, and plan for later.
There will also be time for your questions.
Real CIOs Have Walked This Road
You're not the first IT leader to face these challenges.
During the webinar, Michaela will share real stories from organizations that have successfully improved their legacy ColdFusion applications without unnecessary disruption.
For example, at Lindsey Wilson College, a business-critical ColdFusion application repeatedly crashed during enrollment and finals — a Helm's Deep every semester.
Instead of rewriting the entire application, TeraTech identified and fixed the underlying issues, eliminating the crashes in just weeks.
It's a reminder that modernization doesn't always mean starting over.
