We still support old code we haven't rewritten, occasionally adding some features, but generally speaking, no, we haven't looked back. The core of our business logic (a lot of background processing) has long since moved from a hand-rolled CFML approach to Sidekiq. The eventual goal is to retire CFML completely.
That's our goal also. We just ported a site over to WordPress with a Rails admin backend. We're hoping to move off of ColdFusion completely by next year.
Though you can do ALOT with Wordpress and Woocommerce, the Wordpress "framework" just feels icky. Not to mention that WordPress is a beast and can slow down considerably with only a few people in the admin area.
That said we use a Rails admin backend to mange all aspects of the stock and categories. We sync up to Woocommerce with the API and ActiveJob.
This really isn't anything ground breaking, it's using the right tools for the right areas to bring things together.
Thanks for elaborating — that does sound like a good compromise that would be easy for someone/a team familiar with both Rails and the WordPress JSON API to set up.
