Many enterprises still rely on the Adabas database and Natural programming language for critical workloads, facing rising license costs and a shrinking talent pool. To reduce reliance on these aging technologies and enable digital transformation, companies are modernizing to AWS with Advanced’s solutions. Advanced offers automated refactoring of Natural code to Java/C# and replatforming to execute Natural on Windows, along with migrating Adabas databases to modern relational databases.

Comprinno migrated a fitness app’s databases from Google Cloud to AWS to reduce costs. Challenges included migrating large PostgreSQL databases without downtime and accessing Google’s managed subnets. Comprinno established a VPN between clouds, used a SQL proxy to enable the AWS Database Migration Service, and parallelized data loading to meet the tight migration window. By moving to Graviton-based Amazon RDS, the customer reduced database costs by 30%.

Containers are a leading method for packaging applications, with Kubernetes emerging as the top orchestration solution. You can enable secure and efficient self-service cluster provisioning on Amazon EKS using open-source tools like AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK), Kyverno, and ArgoCD. This post demonstrates how enterprises can leverage these tools along with Nirmata’s Policy Manager to streamline EKS cluster management, apply security policies, and ensure compliance in a Kubernetes environment.
