Migrating to Lucee

Question

What are the benefits of migrating from Adobe ColdFusion to Lucee? I hear the migration itself is fairly smooth. Are there other benefits like more hosting availability, cheaper hosting, etc? What are people's experiences and what prompted you to do it?

Dave Watts · Answer

The migration should be smooth, unless you're doing something wacky in your CFML code that's not supported in Lucee. I don't do a lot with shared hosting so can't help you there. It seems like the best value proposition is when you're doing your own hosting - either on-premises or cloud - because you'll get the direct benefit of not having to pay for licensing. (I assume Lucee is free and open source, I could be wrong.)

Note that proprietary licensing does provide its own value in some cases, and might be a requirement in some situations. I suspect it would be difficult to get FedRAMP certification with an open-source product where you can't identify and protect the supply chain, for example. Also, support can be helpful.
