The Legacy CFML Modernization Paradox
Most CFML modernization conversations start with the same paradox.
The application works. It generates revenue. Users log in every day and get their jobs done. The CFML code is functional, if not always elegant. Replacing it with a “modern” stack — React frontend, Node.js or Spring backend, microservices — is a 12 to 36 month rewrite project that pauses every other initiative, exposes the organization to twelve months of integration risk, and produces (in the typical case) a system that has all the same business logic but is now expressed in TypeScript.
