Use Cases

Build your application modernization factory

vFunction's AI-driven architectural observability platform accelerates the modernization of Java and .NET applications. By uncovering the root causes of technical debt, prioritizing key areas for modernization, and automating service extraction, vFunction helps transform legacy systems into scalable and resilient cloud-native applications.

Challenges modernizing legacy systems

Monolithic systems often comprise a significant portion of an organization’s applications. These systems are typically complex, poorly documented, and deeply integrated with critical business processes. Without the right insights and tools, modernizing them can become a never-ending costly endeavor.

High complexity

Legacy monoliths are often deeply complex. Visualizing the system’s key functional domains, their intricacies, interdependencies, and potential failure points is crucial for a smooth transition.

Technical debt

Over time, legacy systems accumulate outdated code, overly complex processes, and inefficient workarounds, costing companies trillions of dollars annually in the U.S. alone.

Documentation

As new features are added, documentation is often neglected, making it harder for teams to understand the codebase and workflows during modernization or refactoring.

Cost

A recent vFunction study found that the average modernization project costs $1.5M, with a 79% failure rate. Extended timelines further escalate opportunity costs as modernization efforts drain resources.

One platform to modernize and migrate legacy systems

vFunction’s AI-driven architectural observability platform automates and accelerates legacy modernization and migration. By providing deep, real-time visibility into your application architecture—uncovering dependencies, mapping domains, and identifying unnecessary complexity—vFunction guides teams toward better outcomes, enabling faster modernization while keeping your migration efforts on track.

Streamline refactoring

Leverage vFunction to identify architectural issues and streamline the refactoring process. Clarify domain boundaries, resolve resource overlaps, and eliminate dead code to streamline modernization while boosting application resilience and scalability.

Automate microservices extraction

vFunction simplifies microservice extraction by generating RESTful APIs and managing domain-specific framework upgrades using OpenRewrite. This makes monolith refactoring faster, more efficient, and ready for modern cloud-native environments.

The five R’s of cloud migration

Many companies successfully modernize their applications by adopting one of several well-defined strategies. Use vFunction to automate and streamline modernization, especially during refactoring and replatforming projects.

How to build an application
modernization factory with vFunction

Establish an enterprise-wide modernization factory that accelerates transformation, minimizes risks, and enhances agility for cloud-native environments.

1. Take a comprehensive portfolio view

Gain complete visibility into your application landscape, empowering you to strategically plan and prioritize modernization.

2. Prioritize by complexity and technical debt

vFunction identifies your most complex applications and those carrying the highest technical debt, enabling you to prioritize modernization efforts.

3. Streamline multi-application modernization
