Many organizations still rely on manual deployments for their ColdFusion or Lucee applications. These processes might have worked years ago, but in today’s world of rapid releases and cloud-native expectations, they are fragile, slow, and risky.
A missed step, an inconsistent environment, or a late-night deployment gone wrong can mean downtime that affects your business and your users.
The good news? You don’t have to rewrite your applications to modernize how you deploy them. With on-demand DevOps engineers from Ortus Solutions, you can move from legacy deployments to modern pipelines—quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.
Why Manual Deployments Hold You Back
If your team is still pushing code to production by hand, you’ve probably run into one or more of these challenges:
- Inconsistency: Each deployment is slightly different, depending on who performs it.
- Lack of visibility: No clear audit trail of what was deployed, when, or by whom.
- Downtime risks: Hotfixes or updates can bring entire environments down.
- Limited scalability: Adding new environments or onboarding new developers is slow and error-prone.
These issues grow exponentially as your ColdFusion or Lucee applications become more complex, integrated, and critical to the business.
How On-Demand DevOps Engineers Transform Your Pipeline
With Ortus Solutions, you don’t just get an engineer—you get a DevOps specialist backed by our 15+ years of expertise in ColdFusion, Lucee, and enterprise modernization projects.
Here’s how we help accelerate your deployments:
1. Automating Your Pipelines
We replace fragile manual steps with CI/CD pipelines that handle builds, tests, packaging, and deployments consistently—every single time. Whether you’re running Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee, automation ensures predictable outcomes.
2. Embedding Tests and Security Checks
Pipelines include automated tests (unit, integration, regression) and security validations like dependency scans and configuration checks. This reduces production errors and strengthens compliance.
3. Ensuring Consistent Environments
By using infrastructure as code and containerization, we make sure your CFML applications run the same way in dev, test, and production. No more “it works on my machine” moments.
4. Minimizing Downtime in Critical Updates
Our engineers implement progressive delivery patterns (blue-green deployments, canary releases, feature flags) that let you roll out updates gradually, validate stability, and roll back safely if needed.
Real Benefits for ColdFusion and Lucee Teams
- Reliability: Every deployment follows the same process—no surprises.
- Speed: Push updates faster without waiting for manual approvals.
- Confidence: Built-in testing and monitoring keep production stable.
- Future-readiness: Pipelines that adapt as you modernize, whether you stay with CFML or transition to BoxLang or cloud-native stacks.
