Vanquish Your CF Woes, with TeraTech By Your Side

TeraTech's ColdFusion maintenance services keeps your legacy applications running smoothly by fixing bugs, optimizing performance, applying security patches, and updating features to meet evolving business needs.

When properly maintained, ColdFusion applications can remain productive for 10-15 years or longer, delivering decades of reliable service while avoiding costly downtime, security vulnerabilities, and performance degradation that plague unmaintained systems. TeraTech provides comprehensive maintenance services tailored to legacy ColdFusion environments, ensuring your applications remain stable, secure, and optimized for growth.

A Quick Summary of Key CF Maintenance Practices

ColdFusion maintenance is critical for organizations relying on legacy applications. Properly maintained systems experience 60% fewer security incidents and reduce emergency development costs by up to 45%. Key maintenance practices include regular security updates (quarterly minimum with critical patches within 72 hours), performance monitoring using tools like FusionReactor, structured version control, comprehensive backup and disaster recovery strategies, and proactive technical debt management. Most organizations allocate 15-25% of initial development cost annually for maintenance, with managed services offering 30-40% additional cost savings. The difference between maintained and neglected ColdFusion applications is the difference between decades of reliable operation and catastrophic system failures.

We know how to fix what matters the most:

  • Revenue-generating applications that aren't fully reliable, like the ever-changing weather of Middle-earth.
  • Not having contingency plans for unexpected disruptions.
  • Slow and painful implementation of new features, like the long, drawn-out journey to Mordor.
  • Unreliable turnaround times for maintenance requests.
