About Application Modernization
App modernization helps you determine the right path to take to improve your current applications - or to replace them with entirely new ones. Move the entirety of your app to a new environment, or containerize different parts of your app and orchestrate it all with Kubernetes. Alternately, you can build cloud-native capabilities that connect to your existing apps, using APIs to deliver new functionalities. From containers to microservices and DevOps to security, find the answers to the many facets of modernization you need to understand when planning and executing your move.
From monoliths to microservices – everything you need, right here:
-
As you're thinking about breaking down your monolithic application, you need to understand how your application's architecture will change. Refactoring it to a more microservices-based design will enable support for distributed functionality, scalability, independent code updates, rapid addition of new features, and deployment to different runtime environments.
-
Traditional security actions don’t scale with the deployment of containers, so you need to set up security to be a continuous effort across all your environments. Explore how to secure the integrity of your containers, applications, and your underlying infrastructure including new practices to isolate build from runtime.
-
Containers offer you a standardized way to run code independently of an environment, giving you freedom to develop from anywhere. Containers are small and meant to store code that is specifically related to the functionality you build, which is then loosely coupled to other containers inside the application. Docker is one of several popular open source tools for creating, running, deploying, and sharing containers.
-
Whether you simply modernize the runtime environment that your app uses or go all the way to strangle your monolith, some level of refactoring will improve the structure of your application. Make it easier to build, extend, test, and manage your app without impacting the overall capabilities delivered.
-
By using microservices, it's possible to build on top of your existing applications, whether on-prem or lifting-shifting to the cloud. By creating small amounts of code that exist for specific functionality, you can rapidly deliver value in a controlled manner.

Transitioning from Dev to DevOps, or even to DevSecOps? Learn what tools, services, and practices are going to get you moving towards and successfully implementing continuous delivery/continuous integration (CI/CD).

Understand how key skills – like Java development – translate to a cloud-native development environment. Discover the tools you need to master and the mindset you need for using your existing experience to successfully modernize your apps.
