Software doesn’t stop working the day support ends—but the risks and costs begin compounding fast. If you’re still running ColdFusion 2018 or 2021, this post is your quick brief on what End of Support (EoS) really means, the downstream impact on your teams and budgets, and how to move decisively without disruption.

We're thrilled to announce BoxLang 1.6.0, a release that delivers massive performance improvements, intelligent developer tooling, and enhanced async capabilities. This release focuses on making BoxLang faster, smarter, and more observable than ever before.

Ad-hoc releases slow teams down: flaky builds, manual handoffs, surprise hotfixes, and “it works on my machine” incidents. The cure isn’t a six-month tooling migration—it’s a focused, four-week engagement that converts chaos into a reliable release rhythm.

Below is a 30-day playbook our on-demand DevOps engineers use to standardize CI/CD fast—without pausing delivery. It’s designed to run in parallel with your current work, introducing structure, guardrails, and automa...

Modernizing without a security baseline is gambling with production. Before choosing runtimes, refactoring frameworks, or touching infrastructure, you need a clear view of your current exposure. A ColdFusion security audit is step zero: it tells you what to fix now, what to monitor, and how to modernize safely.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your platform instead of empowered by it, you’re not alone. Legacy systems can be expensive to maintain, slow to adapt, and limiting when it comes to growth. For many teams, innovation feels out of reach because the tools they rely on simply weren’t built for today’s pace of change.

That’s where BoxLang comes in. Built to break free from outdated constraints, BoxLang isn’t just another language, it’s a modernization movement designed to help you scale without penalties, cut costs, and build with the future in mind.

Ortus Solutions delivered a wealth of insights and updates in September 2025, focusing on modernizing development with BoxLang, ColdBox, and CFML.

Deadlines don’t wait. Whether it’s a last-minute infrastructure change, a critical deployment, or a project that suddenly became top priority, your team needs extra hands—and it needs them fast. But traditional hiring cycles and contractor onboarding often make it impossible to respond at the speed business demands.

At Ortus Solutions, we built a model designed exactly for these moments.

When Time is Your Biggest Enemy

A stalled DevOps backlog doesn’t just delay ...

ColdBox gives you the flexibility to create domain-specific routes, making it perfect for multi-tenant applications or projects that need to respond differently based on the domain or subdomain being accessed. In this tip, we’ll dive into how to use the withDomain() method to create routes that match specific domains or sub-domains.

Migrating legacy ColdFusion applications can feel overwhelming. Outdated versions, unsupported frameworks, and fragile integrations often make businesses hesitate. But delaying modernization only increases risks and costs. With the right plan, a ColdFusion migration can be structured, predictable, and even an opportunity to strengthen your systems for the future.

Here are five essential steps to ensure your migration goes smoothly.
