Application Modernisation Accelerator

Lift-and-shift gets workloads onto AWS. It does not deliver the cost, agility or innovation outcomes that justified the move in the first place. The hard yards — and the real value — are in modernising the applications themselves: breaking apart monoliths, replacing self-managed databases with managed equivalents, eliminating idle compute through serverless, and bringing CI/CD discipline to teams that have never had it.

PurePlay Cloud's Application Modernisation Accelerator is a focused engagement that turns this from a vague 'phase two' into a delivered outcome. We use AI-assisted code analysis to inspect existing applications, identify modernisation candidates and target architectures rapidly, and deliver a working modernised pilot inside a typical four-week engagement.

Step 0: Free 2-hour qualification workshop We meet your engineering and product leaders to identify the right pilot candidate and confirm AWS funding eligibility.

Step 1 — Discover

• AI-assisted code, dependency and runtime analysis across candidate applications
• Stakeholder workshops to capture non-functional requirements and domain boundaries
• Modernisation candidate scoring (technical fit, business value, risk)

Step 2 — Assess and Architect

• Target architecture design across containers, serverless and managed data services
• CI/CD pipeline design
• Observability strategy using CloudWatch, X-Ray and OpenTelemetry

Step 3 — Pilot

• Hands-on modernisation of a single pilot workload to a deployable, production-quality state
• Reusable PurePlay Cloud accelerators (Terraform modules, CDK patterns, pipeline blueprints) handed over to your team
• Knowledge transfer sessions so your engineers can extend the pattern to subsequent workloads What you get at the end
• A modernisation roadmap covering the full target portfolio with effort estimates and AWS funding allocations
• A live pilot workload running on AWS, ready for production rollout decisions
• PurePlay Cloud accelerator assets for reuse across your portfolio

Why PurePlay Cloud AI is woven into how we work — our engineers use AI coding assistants daily for code analysis, refactoring, test generation and documentation. That's how we compress what is traditionally a months-long modernisation into weeks. We have delivered application modernisations for nib (onto AWS Fargate) and for Australian construction, ISV, education and healthcare customers — with AWS funding offsetting cost in most cases.
