Is there some sort of integration (maybe third party) that allows for building out nice JS/HTML dashboards using Coldfusion for server side?

Sure! You can develop CFCs that output XML or JSON. But it's up to you to build the client-side HTML, CSS and JavaScript to use those APIs. You can do that with "bare-metal" JavaScript, or use front-end JavaScript or Typescript in React, Vue or Angular. That's basically another development skill you'll need to develop, although I don't think it's that difficult.

I second what Dave says. Not only ColdfFusion, but any other application server should be able to play the server-side role. You can even use a combination where necessary.

In fact, whether or not that is simple to do is a test of how good your client-server architecture is. In other words, a good software design will actually contradict your question. 🙂

In general, the less integration between frontend and backend, the better your design!
