  Breaking the Monolith Barrier: Containerizing Legacy ColdFusion Applications Containerization promises consistency, portability, and modern deployment. You package the application once and run it anywhere. The pitch is compelling for aging ColdFusion systems. Then you try it on a real monolith, and the difficulties multiply. Read More

  Enterprise teams running ColdFusion often hit a frustrating wall the moment they put an API gateway in front of their CFML services : requests that work fine when hitting ColdFusion directly suddenly 404, hang, or land on the wrong endpoint once a gateway is in the path. This is one of the most common integration issues reported by ColdFusion shops moving toward microservices, third-party API consumption, or Adobe’s own API Manager. This guide walks through why routing breaks, how to diagnose it layer by layer, and how to fix it — with working code you can drop into a real environment. Read More

  Moving a ColdFusion application from an on-premise server to the cloud promises real rewards. You gain scalability, resilience, and freedom from aging hardware. The plan looks straightforward on paper. Then the migration fails, and the application will not run in its new home. Read More

  A custom error handler is your application’s safety net. It catches failures, shields users from ugly error pages, and alerts your team. You build it once and trust it to work. Then one day, an exception slips right past it, and a raw error reaches the user. Read More

  Recursion is one of the most elegant tools in a developer’s toolkit. A function that calls itself can solve tree traversals, factorials, and nested data with clean, compact code. Then one day, the same function brings your server to its knees. A StackOverflowError appears, and the application stops responding. Read More

  Your ColdFusion application sends webhooks to external endpoints. You built retry logic to handle delivery failures. Then a request fails, and the retry never happens. The webhook silently disappears, and the downstream system never receives it. Read More
