ColdFusion Is Alive. Now What? (Webinar, Nov 5, 2026)

Your legacy ColdFusion app still runs the business, but every change feels like a march into Mordor.

On November 5, 2026, I’m leading a webinar with Adobe to help you choose your next step, and I’d love you to join me. Here’s a quick look at what you’ll get.

The Big ColdFusion Question Has Changed

Back in 2018, everyone asked me, “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 CF platform doesn’t always mean a healthy CF app. Many CIOs I talk to run ancient code nobody has checked in years.

So the real question in Middleware-Earth is this: what do you do with the legacy CF apps your business depends on?

What You’ll Learn in 45 Minutes

Here’s what we’ll cover, plus time for your questions:

Find the hidden risks: security gaps, slow pages and code only one person understands.
Pick the right path: keep, upgrade, modernize or rewrite.
Fix what matters first, while the business keeps running.
Free your team from relying on one lone unicorn developer.
Add AI safely with the new features in ColdFusion 2026.
Leave with a roadmap: fix now, improve next, plan for later.

Real CIOs Have Walked This Road

I’ll share real stories from CIOs who stood where you stand now. For example, at Lindsey Wilson College, the CF app crashed during enrollment and finals, a Helm’s Deep every semester. We kept the app, fixed the cause and permanently stopped the crashes in weeks.
