Application modernization often begins with a difficult task: comprehensive legacy codebase analysis to understand how the system works. Many legacy applications evolve over years of incremental changes, leaving teams with limited documentation, tightly coupled dependencies, and business logic spread across multiple services and modules. For engineering teams, this lack of visibility creates a common challenge. […]

Many enterprises have used the mainframe as a platform of choice for their core business processing over decades. The simplicity and speed of initial development in monolithic architecture have consequently resulted in the creation of large (10M+ LOC) and exceptionally large (100M+ LOC) mono-repos and complex codebases. When customers are ready to modernize these applications, […]

Monolithic databases have long been a cornerstone of enterprise applications, but as organizations scale and adopt cloud-native architectures, these databases increasingly become bottlenecks. A structured approach to modernizing these monolithic databases addresses increased cost, scalability constraints, architectural rigidity, and performance degradation that prevent independent deployment and rapid innovation. Organizations embarking on cloud migration often discover […]

Introduction Organizations are modernizing their mission-critical systems on AWS to drive competitive advantage and meet evolving market demands. The drivers are clear with benefits such as increased scalability, improved application performance and reliability, accelerated time to market for new features, and advance AI/ML capabilities. Unlike traditional upgrades, application modernization is a fundamental shift in how […]

Building on a momentous launch earlier this year, AWS adds new powerful AI capabilities to AWS Transform for VMware migration agent. AWS Transform for VMware understands your business priorities, adapts to your environments, and gives you greater control at every migration step. The agent orchestrates migration processes including dependency mapping, intelligent wave planning, and network […]

In this blog post, we outline the AWS approach to modernizing mainframe legacy applications through the reimagine pattern, showcasing how organizations can transform legacy COBOL applications into modern, cloud-native architectures. Organizations are facing urgent imperatives to modernize their legacy mainframe applications due to talent shortages, increasing costs, and restrictions on business agility. AWS supports multiple […]

As more organizations take their first steps in the cloud migration journey, we’re seeing them facing a common on-premises challenge: applications that are tightly coupled with their datasets. This means that while their applications (running on physical or virtual machines) are ready to be migrated to the cloud using the rehost (“lift-and-shift”) strategy, there may […]

Background Q2 is an independent software vendor (ISV) and a leading provider of digital banking and fraud solutions for banks and credit unions. Q2 completed a successful migration of online banking application stacks for over 450 of their financial institution clients to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This strategic move represents one of the most significant […]

The Missing Link in Cloud Modernization: A Trusted CMDB Walk into any IT organization and mention the words Configuration Management Database (CMDB), and you’ll usually get one of two reactions: either a hopeful nod about its promise, or a sigh about its failure. A CMDB maps IT assets—or configuration items (CIs)—such as servers, databases, applications, […]

Introduction Today’s evolving technology ecosystem demands a new approach to technical debt reduction. While traditionally viewed as a software development concern or cloud migration challenge, technical debt represents the cumulative impact of every technology decision, infrastructure design, security practice, and postponed improvement across the entire IT portfolio. This blog post provides a pragmatic approach to […]
