ColdFusion (CF)
Adobe's tag-based application server platform (originally Allaire's) that remains in production at many state agencies and back-office systems despite predating modern JS/Node runtimes.
In long form.
ColdFusion (CFML) is a server-side tag-based programming language and application server originally developed by Allaire in 1995, later acquired by Macromedia, then Adobe. CF runs on the JVM in modern deployments. It was widely adopted by U.S. state governments, healthcare back offices, and federal subcontractors in the late 1990s and 2000s — much of that infrastructure remains in production today. Modernization paths typically migrate CF applications to .NET, Node.js, or PHP-based stacks via strangler-fig patterns rather than big-bang rewrites.
ColdFusion is the founder's heritage stack. Nessim Works supports CF systems in place and plans modernization paths to current runtimes. Most state agency and federal-subcontractor engagements that come to us with legacy CF infrastructure need a defensible modernization roadmap, not a rip-and-replace pitch.
