WRIS was proud to sponsor Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2026 and spend the week connecting with developers, partners, and customers from across the ColdFusion community. From exciting AI announcements and technical sessions to our Grumpy Dev Challenge and photo booth, here's a look back at an incredible event.

Chadley Codewell may have “saved hours,” but your Grumpy Dev knows the truth: AI can help, but it still needs a babysitter.

WRIS follows a structured development lifecycle to plan, build, test, deploy, and maintain web applications efficiently and transparently. Using tools like Jira, version control, and modern deployment practices, we ensure projects stay organized, reliable, and ready to evolve with your business.

Instead of defaulting to an expensive rewrite, it helps you evaluate whether your app is still delivering value. and what the smartest next move really is.
