Use Cases

Cloud not paying off? Modernize the architecture.

Monoliths weren’t built for the cloud. To realize its benefits, modernize your critical Java and .NET apps into cost-efficient, modular architectures that are scalable, resilient, and ready for innovation.

Modernization use cases

Architectural modernization—
no longer risky, costly, or slow

Refactor monoliths into modular, cloud-ready services—up to 15x faster. vFunction combines GenAI with deep architectural context to succeed where code assistants alone fall short.

1. Migrate to the cloud

Complex monoliths running on-premises accumulate years of architectural technical debt, creating roadblocks to releasing quickly, scaling efficiently, or adopting AI.

Simply “lifting and shifting” these apps rarely works:

  • It’s impossible to move them without major rework
  • Costs skyrocket because they require oversized machines
  • Architectural debt blocks elasticity, speed, and savings

Solution
Address the debt through architectural modernization. With vFunction and GenAI, you can refactor as you migrate—achieving cloud benefits at a fraction of the time, cost, and risk.

2. Move to higher compute services

Sometimes cloud migration needs to happen fast—due to shutting down a data center—leaving no time to modernize the architecture of your applications to cloud-native.

But delaying modernization comes at a cost:

  • Expenses start to skyrocket
  • Elasticity and cost savings never materialize
  • Engineering velocity stalls

Solution
With vFunction and GenAI, you can modernize at a fraction of the time; reducing cost, and risk to take full advantage of higher compute platforms like Amazon EKS, AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

From ISV to enterprise: Modernizing the architecture of your most critical apps

Whether you’re an ISV managing complex product suites or an enterprise running decades-old core systems, the challenge is the same: applications so complex they feel too risky to modernize. Learn how vFunction helps overcome this roadblock.

What is Modernization?

Application Modernization

Modernization is the process of transforming existing applications and infrastructure into higher-value, cloud-native services enabling teams to deliver value more quickly, frequently, intelligently and reliably to customers.

Infrastructure and code modernization

Infrastructure and code modernization focuses on:

• Framework upgrades (e.g., Java 6 → 17, .NET Core → .NET 8)

• Fixing security vulnerabilities

• Reducing licensing costs (moving to open source)

• Infrastructure shifts (VMs → containers)

Important—but not architectural modernization. These steps alone don’t make workloads cloud-native.

Architectural modernization

Architectural modernization focuses on:

• Transforming monoliths into modular or microservices architectures

• Enabling workloads to use services like Amazon EKS, AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and AKS

• Delivering elasticity, agility, and speed of innovation that cloud migration promises

Architectural modernization is what unlocks the real benefits of the cloud.
