In a previous video, we showed a case study where vFunction accelerated the transformation of a monolithic application into microservices by 15x. In this video, we want to focus on modernization at scale. 

When the application complexity is low, refactoring speed is high, because most business applications are typically much more complex and their original developers are no longer with the company. So the refactoring speed goes to almost zero. This is where vFunction automation can truly disrupt the modernization process. vFunction allows an organization to address a large portion of their backlog applications and create a factory model where an average of two applications per week can be transformed into microservices. 

vFunction has developed a modernization factory status dashboard. This allows organizations to manage the entire modernization pipeline for hundreds of applications from one central focal point. 

Managers can see how many apps have been instrumented with vFunction, how many are in the learning phase, the analysis phase through service extraction, and then how many have completed the modernization. 

vFunction also allows the admin to manage the process for the central dashboard. The user can install the vFunction agents are multiple JVMs from the main console. The user can also start and stop the learning phase, where data collection occurs from the main console and also pause learning and troubleshoot issues. 

In the analysis phase, vFunction presents the analysis metrics for each application and generates an assessment report for each of the obligations. The assessment report includes the complexity of the application, and other metrics relevant to the vFunction decomposition of the application as well of services that’s the system metrics.

This allows the organization to prioritize which applications can be modernized quickly, which ones shouldn’t be modernized, and which ones are more complex but still achievable with vFunction. 

Under the service creation section, the user can see the actual services extracted for each application, obtain the services catalog, and generate the database report that can enable the user to follow up with a decomposition of the database. 

vFunction is the only modernization platform that automates the decomposition of Java monoliths into microservices and allows organizations to manage these modernization projects and scale. It’s the only way to get visibility and control over major modernization initiatives. 

Accelerate your journey to cloud-native architecture at scale with vFunction.
