ColdFusion Development Experts
Adobe ColdFusion Development Partner delivering custom ColdFusion applications, consulting, performance optimization, modernization, and support.
PALADEM is a recognized Adobe ColdFusion Development Partner, delivering enterprise-grade ColdFusion solutions for organizations that depend on fast, reliable, and secure web applications. With decades of combined experience in ColdFusion development, our team helps businesses build new applications, modernize legacy systems, and optimize performance across their ColdFusion stack.
Why Choose ColdFusion?
Adobe ColdFusion remains one of the most productive rapid application development platforms available. It excels at building data-driven web applications, RESTful APIs, and enterprise integrations with minimal boilerplate. ColdFusion’s built-in features for PDF generation, charting, caching, and secure data handling make it a powerful choice for organizations that need to move fast without sacrificing reliability. For businesses with existing ColdFusion investments, modernizing and optimizing your current platform is often far more cost-effective than a risky full rewrite.
Our ColdFusion Services
Custom ColdFusion Application Development
We design and build custom ColdFusion applications from the ground up, tailored to your business processes and integration requirements. From internal tools to customer-facing platforms, our solutions are architected for performance, security, and long-term maintainability.
ColdFusion Consulting & Architecture
Our senior architects provide strategic consulting to help you make the right decisions about your ColdFusion environment. We assess your current architecture, identify risks and opportunities, and deliver actionable recommendations for improvement.
Performance Optimization
Slow ColdFusion applications lose users and revenue. We diagnose performance bottlenecks across your application code, database queries, server configuration, and caching strategies, then implement targeted fixes that deliver measurable speed improvements.
Legacy ColdFusion Modernization
Running an older ColdFusion application that has become difficult to maintain? We specialize in incremental modernization: upgrading your codebase, frameworks, and infrastructure step by step so you can reduce technical debt without the risk of a complete rewrite.
ColdFusion Support & Maintenance
We provide ongoing support and maintenance for your ColdFusion applications, including bug fixes, security patches, server administration, and feature enhancements. Our team ensures your systems stay healthy, secure, and up to date.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
Is ColdFusion still a viable platform in 2026, or should we migrate off it?
Adobe ColdFusion is still actively developed and supported, with current releases running on modern Java, Lucee as a compatible open-source engine, and a first-party roadmap from Adobe. A working ColdFusion application that meets the business need is almost always more valuable than a speculative rewrite. The right question is usually not whether to migrate off ColdFusion but whether the current version, infrastructure, and code quality are healthy enough to steward for the next decade.
Which ColdFusion versions does PALADEM support?
PALADEM works across the currently supported Adobe ColdFusion releases and engages on older versions that are still in production, including engagements where the goal is specifically to bring an out-of-support release onto a supported one. We also work with Lucee where the application runs on the open-source engine. Version assessment is part of every discovery engagement.
How do you approach performance problems in a ColdFusion application?
We start with evidence rather than intuition. Server metrics, JVM behavior, database query profiles, caching posture, and ColdFusion Performance Monitoring Toolkit output guide the diagnosis. From there we prioritize fixes by impact: slow queries and missing indexes, cached fragments that are no longer cached, N+1 patterns in request handlers, JVM tuning, and application-server sizing. The output is a prioritized plan, not a generic checklist.
Can you help us move a ColdFusion application from on-prem to the cloud?
Yes. PALADEM plans and executes ColdFusion migrations from on-prem deployments to cloud infrastructure, typically on AWS or Azure, including containerization where it makes sense, database lift-and-shift or replatforming, secrets handling, and operational runbooks for the new environment. The migration is staged so the application remains shippable throughout, consistent with our Operational Stewardship pillar.
Do you offer ongoing support for existing ColdFusion applications?
Yes. Many engagements begin as a modernization or performance project and continue as a long-term support relationship covering version upgrades, security patching, bug triage, feature work, and production incident response. Support engagements are sized to the real surface area of the application rather than a generic hours bucket.
