Visualize application to application dependencies to uncover inter-application linkages that could break during a migration and avoid issues before a migration.
Cloud Maturity effort estimation
Automatically generated, customizable estimates identify the effort required to continuously optimize applications in the cloud.
Pinpoint Cloud Maturity Blockers
Automatically identify patterns that lower the cloud maturity level of applications (e.g., COM components or use of persistent files). Get accurate guidance where and how to remediate such blockers.
Leverage Cloud Maturity Boosters
Automatically identify patterns that elevate the cloud maturity level (e.g., web configuration files or MySQL) to find opportunities for faster migration or optimization in the cloud.
Cloud Service Recommendations
Identify specific cloud native platform services that are good candidates for an application to utilize once migrated to the cloud for Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud.
Accelerate Cloud Containerization
Automatically discover specific source code patterns that prevent adoption of containers and get precise recommendations on how to remove these container blockers.
Ensure Multi-Cloud Readiness
Receive automated insights on the specific cloud patterns in applications that make it easier to be deployed across multiple cloud platforms.
Cloud Maturity Extension for Visual Studio Code
Modernize software faster by shifting left application Cloud Maturity insights. This Cloud Maturity extension for Visual Studio Code identifies Blockers and line numbers directly within the developer’s environment.
