Upgrades & Migrations
Quick answer
A ColdFusion upgrade moves your application from an unsupported release such as 2016, 2018 or 2021 to a supported one like ColdFusion 2023 or 2025. We audit for breaking changes, fix them, test on a parallel server and cut over without downtime.
ColdFusion 2025 is the newest Adobe release and moves to subscription licensing. ColdFusion 2023 is still in core support. Lucee is the open-source alternative. The right target depends on your licensing budget, the features your app uses and how long you need the next platform to last.
We build the new version alongside your current server, run the application against it, fix what breaks, and switch over only when both produce the same results. Your users keep working on the old server until cutover.
Usually, yes. Moving straight from ColdFusion 2016 or 2018 to 2023 or 2025 is common. The audit covers every breaking change between the two versions so nothing is missed by skipping the releases in between.
It depends on the size of the application and how much it relies on removed or changed features. Small apps can be upgraded in a few weeks; larger ones take longer. The compatibility audit gives you a clear estimate first.
