Understand your Software Architecture
Identify and visualize domains, pinpoint sources of architectural technical debt, detect drift, refactor and extract services.
Why Should You Care About Technical Debt?
Technical debt impacts feature delivery, developer productivity, engineering velocity, and scalability. Discover why measuring and managing it is vital for your organization’s success.

Architectural Observability and Automation
Manage technical debt, analyze architecture, iteratively modernize and refactor applications.
Manage Technical Debt
Manage Technical Debt Enterprise architects can measure and track architectural technical debt across their application estate, evaluating and detecting pockets of architectural drift. Report on remediation programs and pinpoint specific applications requiring attention. Application architects can measure complexity, risk, and technical debt on their apps and prioritize aging frameworks and high tech debt targets to fix.
Analyze Application Architecture
Analyze Application Architecture Analyze application architectures through AI-enabled dynamic and static analysis. Immediately pinpoint and fix current sources of tech debt. Identify and refine domains, uncovering root cause of cross-domain pollution, resource interdependencies, and domain exclusivity problems across class, beans, database tables, and stored procedure relationships. Set desired architecture state as basis for drift observation.
Continuously Modernize
Continuously Modernize Continuously observe, find, and fix architectural issues. Detect architectural drift events after each sprint or test cycle, such as newly introduced dead code, new domains, unexpected dependencies, database table interdependencies, or new common class library issues. Validate modernization updates and resulting tech debt improvements. Refine domain boundaries for emergent architectures. Create modernization stories for each sprint.
Refactor Monoliths into Microservices
Refactor Monoliths into Microservices Decompose and extract new miniservice or microservice code and create restful APIs. Eliminate dead code, upgrade frameworks, and deploy efficient, compact microservices. Use the refactoring studio to refine service boundaries, automatically refactor classes, assign code to common libraries, conduct impact analysis of design decisions based on architect’s input. Incrementally deploy new microservices with the Strangler Fig Pattern.
Modernization Leaders Need vFunction
It’s time to modernize modernization. Automation. Management. Control.
Application Architects
Application Architects Application architects need observability, visibility, tooling to understand, track, and manage architectural technical debt. vFunction provides architectural observability to proactively identify architecture issues throughout the DevOps and Agile lifecycles.
- Automatically identify domains in architecture
- Pinpoint sources of cross-domain pollution
- Create modernization stories for each sprint
- Verify success in lowering tech debt
Chief Architects
Chief Architects Take control of technical debt and architectural drift across your key applications. Drive technical and architectural debt remediation programs throughout the development lifecycle to enable iterative application modernization, from basic refactoring to rewrites to microservices extraction.
- Set and enforce architectural standards
- Pinpoint architectural tech debt hotspots
- Assign modernization to-do list
- Track progress to eradicate debt issues
Enterprise Architects
Assess and report on architectural technical debt across your enterprise estate. Set organization standards, track progress to goal, and help application teams incrementally improve technical fitness and tech debt issues. Collaborate with product teams to address specific architectural drift initiatives and report on progress.
- Build an enterprise tech debt plan
- Track organizational progress to decrease drift
- Create modernization platform engineering program
Systems Integrators
Systems Integrators Differentiate managed application service offerings with new, value-add continuous modernization and architectural observability capabilities. Build a multi-stage plan and business case for large-scale modernization projects that drive additional modernization projects over multiple releases.
- Drive cloud adoption and consumption programs
- Create new architectural observability offers
