Legacy Solution Modernization – Application Refactor

Solution We Delivered

Application Modernized with Scalable, Cloud-Native Architecture on AWS

A mission-critical financial security application for a large enterprise was modernized and transitioned from legacy infrastructure to a fully managed, cloud-native environment on AWS. By leveraging AWS’s extensive cloud ecosystem, the application now benefits from scalable performance, secure operations, and streamlined DevOps workflows.

All core services were migrated under a DevOps framework to AWS, including EC2 instances provisioned via AMIs and deployed using Jenkins automation. The database layer was upgraded to Amazon Aurora for improved reliability and performance, while the application runtime now utilizes Amazon Corretto JDK for secure Java support.

The modernization also involved decomposing monolithic components into microservices, enhancing maintainability and deployment speed. Blue/Green deployment strategies using AWS CodeDeploy ensure zero-downtime updates and rapid rollback when needed.

This modernization has resulted in a more agile, scalable, and secure application architecture, positioning the enterprise for faster innovation and lower operational overhead.
