Legacy modernisation · Java

Turn your Java monolith into cloud-native services, de-risked by AI.

A manual rewrite of a large Java monolith is a multi-year programme with a high failure rate. Paradym Next reads the code, recovers the business logic and rebuilds it as Spring Boot services with a React or Vue 3 front end on AWS or Azure: in months, with your engineers approving every stage.

The problem

Every release of the monolith is slower, riskier and more expensive than the last.

Monolithic Java applications built on old JDKs, application servers and frameworks hold critical business logic, but they resist change. One deployment carries every module, so a small fix needs a full regression cycle.

Tightly coupled code

Modules share state and database tables, so a change in one place breaks something in another.

Unsupported platforms

Old JDKs, application servers and libraries fall out of support and accumulate security vulnerabilities.

Scaling the whole to scale a part

The busiest feature can only scale by running more copies of everything, which drives up infrastructure cost.

Knowledge leaving with people

The engineers who understand the original design move on, and new hires take months to become productive.

Hidden business rules

Years of fixes and special cases sit in service classes, stored procedures and configuration files that nobody has documented. Until those rules are found and written down, every plan to split or replace the monolith rests on guesswork.

How it works

How our AI-powered modernisation engine works.

Four stages take your Java application from undocumented code to Spring Boot services with React or Vue 3 front ends on AWS or Azure. AI agents do the reading, mapping, writing and testing. Your engineers approve every stage.

01

Automated discovery and code parsing

Next parses your Java packages, EJBs, servlets, JSPs, XML configuration and SQL and extracts the business rules, data flows and integrations inside them. Every rule is traced to the code it came from, so nothing drifts in translation.

02

AI-assisted architecture blueprint

Agents map each module to clean target patterns: bounded Spring Boot services, versioned REST APIs, React, Vue 3 or Nuxt front ends, managed cloud databases and infrastructure as code. Your architects review and approve the blueprint before any code is written.

03

Automated refactoring

From the approved blueprint, Next generates production-ready code for Spring Boot services with React or Vue 3 front ends on AWS or Azure. It consolidates duplicated logic and removes dead code, and your engineers review every change.

04

AI-driven regression testing and validation

Generated test suites run the old and new systems on the same inputs, validating 99% functional equivalence before deployment. Any difference goes to your team to resolve.

Value acceleration

What AI acceleration changes.

Compared with a standard manual migration of your Java application.

Up to 40%

less development effort than a standard manual migration.

3–4x

faster upgrade and migration cycles.

Up to 60%

lower operational and cloud infrastructure overhead.

Risk and accuracy

AI does the heavy lifting. Your engineers make the decisions.

For a CTO or CIO, the risk in a rewrite is not speed but correctness. Human review is built into every stage, so AI output never reaches production unchecked.

Traced to source

Every extracted rule and generated module links back to the Java code it came from, so reviewers can check it line by line.

Human approval gates

Discovery, blueprint, code and release each need sign-off from your people. Nothing moves forward on AI output alone.

Equivalence testing

Old and new systems run the same test cases side by side, validated to 99% functional equivalence before deployment.

Governed AI

You choose which models are used and where they run, and every agent action is recorded for audit.
