Application Modernization Services with Google Cloud
At Avanciers, we know that competitive organizations are built on agile applications and supported by modern cloud architectures. We have been supporting companies all over the place from North America to overseas, since 2015.
We have helped them transform outdated applications, eliminate technical debt, and bring their software systems into the cloud-native landscape. And the results have been extremely positive.
Application Modernization Strategies That Deliver Results
Legacy to modern architecture needs to be planned and rolled out step by step. At Avanciers, our application modernization approach balances speed with stability. We help companies to determine which applications to rehost, refactor or rebuild, so that each modernization choice is made based on business value and risk tolerance.
Containerization with Kubernetes
Transform legacy applications into container workloads that can be reliably used under any setting. We wrap applications into Docker containers and apply them to Google Kubernetes Engine and add orchestration that addresses scaling, failover, and updates without human interventions.
Microservices Architecture
Develop monolithic applications as independent microservices that can be independently developed, deployed and scaled. We use application elements, draw service boundaries, deploy API gateways, and lay down patterns of communication that allow the teams to operate autonomously and yet maintain cohesion within the system.
Serverless Computing
Break down monolithic applications into microservices that can be built, deployed, and scaled as well. We subdivide pieces of application, provide service demarcations, implement API gates, and develop patterns of inter-team communication to enable them to operate in isolation and to provide the integrity of the system.
How We Approach Modernization
Assessment Before Action
Avanciers begins every modernization project with thorough application assessment. We analyze code quality, dependencies, performance bottlenecks, and business criticality to create prioritized modernization roadmaps. Your resources get focused on applications where modernization delivers the highest return.
Incremental Transformation
Avanciers uses phased modernization strategies that deliver value continuously rather than requiring big-bang rewrites. We implement the strangler fig pattern, gradually replacing legacy components while keeping systems operational. This reduces risk and provides immediate benefits even before full modernization completes.
DevOps Integration
Modern applications require modern deployment practices. We establish CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, implement automated testing, configure monitoring and logging, and create deployment workflows that enable frequent releases without sacrificing stability or requiring extended maintenance windows.
Application Modernization Services We Provide
Avanciers delivers application modernization through these comprehensive services:
Application Portfolio Analysis
Our architects review your entire application landscape to identify modernization candidates and priorities. Technical debt analysis, cloud readiness rating, dependency mapping, cost-benefit analysis, and rehost, refactor, or rebuild strategic advice are all included.
Legacy Code Refactoring
We upgrade legacy codebases to improve maintainability, performance, and cloud support. This involves replacing deprecated libraries, adopting modern design patterns, optimizing database queries, enhancing error handling, and reorganizing code for easier testing and deployment.
Container Migration Services
Our team will containerize the current applications by developing Dockerfiles, optimizing container images, adding health checks, setting up persistent storage, and deploying to Google Kubernetes Engine using the correct resource limits, auto-scaling settings, and high availability settings.
API Development and Management
We develop and deploy RESTful APIs, which allow communication with the services and third-party integration. This also covers specification of API with OpenAPI, implementation of authentication and authorization, rate limiting, versioning policies and configuration of API gateway with Cloud Endpoints or Apigee.
Database Modernization
We migrate databases to cloud-native databases such as Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, or Firestore as needed depending on your needs. These involve schema optimization, data migration including validation, query optimization, caching strategy implementation and backup and disaster recovery processes.
Performance Optimization
Our performance engineers analyze app bottlenecks and implement optimizations, including code profiling, caching, database query tuning, CDN setup, image/asset optimization, and load testing to handle expected traffic.
Partner with Application Modernization Experts
Avanciers consultants offer skilled technical knowledge of application modernization techniques, cloud-native and Google Cloud technologies. We guide you through the challenges of migration to legacy applications, without interrupting business processes and ensuring quantifiable benefits. Our experience enables us to:
Develop modernization roadmaps that order projects according to business value, technical complexity, and resource availability and ensure continuity.
Show examples of manufacturing, retail and healthcare, financial services organizations that implemented 40-60% cost savings, and 3-5x performance gains by integrating new strategic applications.
Engage certified Google Cloud architects, seasoned developers, and DevOps engineers who have transformed hundreds of applications with different technology stacks and business sectors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Modernization makes sense when applications have solid business logic but outdated infrastructure or architecture. Rebuild is appropriate when code quality is poor, business requirements have fundamentally changed, or technical debt exceeds the value of existing code.
We use several strategies to maintain business continuity during modernization. The strangler fig pattern gradually replaces components while the old system continues operating. Feature flags enable testing new functionality in production with controlled rollout. Blue-green deployments allow instant rollback if issues occur.
Timelines vary significantly based on application size and complexity. Simple containerization of a small application may take 4-6 weeks. Refactoring a medium-sized monolith into microservices typically requires 6-12 months. Complete rebuilds of large enterprise applications can span 12-24 months.
Yes. We have experience modernizing applications across numerous legacy platforms including .NET Framework, Java EE, COBOL, legacy databases, and proprietary frameworks. Our approach includes assessing migration paths, identifying critical dependencies, implementing abstraction layers, gradually replacing legacy components, and ensuring business logic preservation throughout the transformation.
Modernized applications require different support than legacy systems. We provide managed services including container orchestration monitoring, automated scaling management, CI/CD pipeline maintenance, performance monitoring, security patching, and continuous optimization.
