Application Modernization Leveraging Gen-AI for Automated Code Transformation

What if AI could automatically migrate your legacy Java monolith? See a new tool that transforms code to cloud-native without expensive model fine-tuning.

Understanding the business impact of technical debt

Technical debt increases costs, introduces security risks, and reduces business agility by hindering the adoption of new frameworks and cloud migration.

#2about 3 minutes

Identifying common vulnerabilities in legacy Java code

Legacy Java applications often contain outdated patterns like EJBs and critical vulnerabilities such as text4shell or log4shell that require identification and remediation.

#3about 8 minutes

Performing static code analysis with Konveyor.io

Konveyor's rules engine uses the Language Server Protocol (LSP) to perform static code analysis, identifying specific incidents and migration paths in a codebase.

How Konveyor AI automates code generation with LLMs

Konveyor AI combines static analysis with large language models using RAG and few-shot prompting to generate targeted code changes without requiring model fine-tuning.

#5about 11 minutes

Demo of automated code transformation with Kai

A live demonstration shows how Kai automatically transforms a Java EE application to Quarkus by converting JavaX to Jakarta, JMS to reactive messaging, and EJBs to REST endpoints.

#6about 2 minutes

Understanding the scope of automated modernization

The tool focuses on migrating technology stacks, like from a Java EE monolith to a Quarkus monolith, but does not perform higher-level re-architecture or domain-driven design.

#7about 3 minutes

Key differentiators of the Konveyor AI approach

This approach provides structured, auditable migrations driven by static analysis rules, is model-agnostic, and generates a reviewable code patch for developers.

How to contribute to the Konveyor open source community

Developers interested in contributing to the project can join the Konveyor.io community through Slack, mailing lists, and regular community meetings.
