3 Reasons to Migrate Away from Adobe ColdFusion

Adobe ColdFusion 2021 Licensing Costs

Adobe has clearly decided to milk the top of the market – government and enterprise customers who are heavily embedded in ColdFusion – by maintaining an antiquated licensing model. Adobe ColdFusion 2021 is sold in two forms: the Standard Edition is $2,499 for two cores, and the Enterprise Edition is $9,499 for eight cores. Adobe’s cores-based licensing model is per-server (regardless of whether virtual or physical), which further adds to the costs. You can’t, for example, buy one Enterprise license and run a cluster of four 2-core server instances.

ColdFusion 2021 Isn’t True Cloud Computing

Cloud computing design patterns, such as microservices and serverless architectures for systems and software, reflect a critical trend with profound implications for enterprise IT. Taking a monolithic architecture to microservices represents a fundamental shift in how IT approaches software development. By its very nature, Adobe ColdFusion is a monolithic architecture, with a large-footprint and centralized application runtime. As such, putting ColdFusion in the cloud isn’t true cloud computing. Yes, it resides in a cloud environment, but it’s not leveraging the best options of the cloud.

The Shrinking CFML Talent Pool

One of the challenges of using older technologies is the shrinking number of developers. We receive resumes from veteran CFML developers who have nowhere to go. It’s a shrinking job market, and although 20 years of experience sounds tempting, the salaries are commensurate. It’s hard to find versatile, experienced, affordable ColdFusion talent. Any hiring manager who has contrasted the CFML-guru and Python-guru talent pools will immediately understand what we’re saying here.

We definitely recommend Webapper to others. Webapper is a top-notch website design firm that also houses and manages the infrastructure needed to power the site. When we first saw our website, we loved how modern and colorful it looked, a good contrast to text information that our firm displays on the website. The cost was reasonable. The service was outstanding. The team there is fun to work with, and their responsiveness is excellent. Overall, it’s been a pleasure working with them.
