Railo: Open-Source Application Server

An open-source application server based on Java, focused on CFML, offering ease of setup, rapid development, extensibility, and scalability as an Adobe ColdFusion drop-in alternative.

What is Railo?

Railo is an open-source application server designed specifically for the CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language) programming language. It was created as an alternative to Adobe ColdFusion and aims to provide many of the same features and capabilities found in commercial CFML platforms.

Some key aspects of Railo include:

• Drop-in replacement for Adobe ColdFusion - Most CFML code will run on Railo with little to no changes required
• Supports CFML tags, functions, and language capabilities
• Built on Java and comes bundled with a Jetty application server
• Easy configuration and setup through the built-in Railo Administrator
• Supported across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms
• Integrated debugging and logging tools
• Custom tag and function libraries can be installed as extensions
• Clustering and caching support for improved performance and scalability
• Open source licensing (LGPL and AFL variants)

With its focus on CFML, robust feature set, and open-source model, Railo offers an appealing free alternative for organizations looking to develop and deploy CFML applications without the cost of commercial solutions.
