How AI is redefining modernization for the world’s largest applications

We’re honored to receive the 2025 CODiE Award for Best Use of AI in Software Development. This recognition affirms our belief in AI’s power to transform how engineers modernize and scale enterprise applications, and it’s a proud milestone for our team.

The CODiEs are the industry’s longest-running, peer-reviewed awards program celebrating innovation and excellence in business and technology. Each entry undergoes a rigorous, hands-on evaluation by expert judges and industry peers, who assess every product for its innovation, impact, and value, making this recognition especially meaningful.

“The CODiE Awards celebrate the visionaries shaping the future of technology,” said Jennifer Baranowski, President of the CODiE Awards. “This year’s winners exemplify how innovation, leadership, and purpose can come together to create solutions that move industries forward and make a lasting impact.”

About our technology

vFunction addresses one of software’s toughest challenges: the architectural complexity that slows innovation and limits agility in the cloud. We help enterprises modernize applications to fully leverage advanced cloud services, including serverless technologies. Enterprise apps—often with tens of millions of lines of code—are monolithic, tightly coupled, and difficult to evolve. This complexity stalls innovation and elevates risk especially when moving to the cloud.

As systems grow, every company faces these issues. Addressing monolith complexity is essential to unlocking cloud benefits, such as scalability, cost efficiency, and rapid feature deployment.

Our AI-driven architectural modernization platform helps teams analyze their architecture, visualize it, identify architectural technical debt, and automatically refactor and modernize applications—at least 15× faster than traditional methods.

At vFunction, we tackle one of software’s most persistent challenges: the architectural complexity that limits the speed and agility of mission-critical applications.

During the judging process, vFunction was evaluated through a live demonstration showcasing how our AI addresses real-world complexity—helping engineers slash what once took months of manual analysis and refactoring. Judges assessed vFunction across the key dimensions that define innovation in software development: AI integration, developer productivity, accuracy and reliability, ease of use, security, and community support.

Looking ahead

This recognition is more than a milestone—it’s validation of our mission. As applications grow in size and complexity, AI will be essential to modernizing them intelligently and at scale.

We’ll continue pushing the boundaries of how AI and architecture work together to help organizations move faster, reduce risk, and build future-ready systems.

On behalf of the entire vFunction team, I want to thank the CODiE Awards community, the judges, and our customers and partners who continue to inspire us every day. You can view the full list of winners here.
