Modernizing CFML: Bringing Our Open-Source CMS to Adobe ColdFusion 2025, Lucee 6 & Boxlang

CFML is evolving, and so is our open-source CMS! Join us as we share our journey of adapting it to the latest CFML engines—Adobe ColdFusion 2025, Lucee 6, and Boxlang. Learn the wins, the weird gotchas, and how we future-proofed our platform while keeping performance sharp.


CFML isn’t standing still, and neither should your apps! Our open-source content management system has been around for a while, but keeping up with Adobe ColdFusion 2025, Lucee 6, and Boxlang meant tackling breaking changes, engine quirks, and performance tweaks head-on.

In this session, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our upgrade process—what broke, what worked, and the unexpected lessons we learned along the way. You’ll get a look at compatibility challenges, new CFML features we embraced, and how we ensured our CMS runs smoothly across all three engines.

Expect real-world code examples, performance comparisons, and a few battle scars. Whether you’re maintaining legacy CFML apps or building new ones, you’ll walk away with strategies to keep your projects future-ready.
