AI powered transformation IDE
Engineers and architects interact with the AppFactor UI to iteratively refine application architecture & composition to minimize dependencies and maximize impact, stripping away tech debt in the process
Optimized re-factoring
Unravel and de-couple monolithic applications into macro & micro-services with automation and speed that cannot be obtained manually
Apply Cloud-Native
AppFactor provides a wizard-driven approach that allows for all of the observed and extracted application artifacts to be containerised from source at scale. Automatically generating the Dockerfiles dynamically, with network, file, libraries and binaries, environment variables,application configuration and relationship data for entire app stacks
Deploy & Maintain
A faster journey to modern application delivery. AppFactor helps organizations to accelerate time-to-value, reduce operational overhead, and maximize infrastructure usage as you modernize your applications and application deployment workflow.
Automate deployment to any target
Quickly deploy cloud-native applications directly from code or from legacy source (VM, Physical) without writing code with AppFactor's deployment manifest generation that translates legacy architecture into modern form and abstracts app deployment
Test and release faster
Accelerate time to value across your app portfolio, reducing deployment time from days to minutes. Rapidly spin up environments for production, development and testing and replicate instantly for fast regression testing
A platform for a systematic approach to find, track and cut tech debt
Use a single workflow to deploy new and legacy applications across multiple data centers, regions, and clouds with a refactoring and transformation IDE that provides version control and config maps to track changes in dependencies
How to get started
It's easy and fast to get started.
AppFactor is purpose built to refactor apps and it starts with finding, learning and measuring them through a modernization lens.
1
Deploy the AppFactor Analyzer
Simply download and run the native clients for both Windows and Linux which allows any environment, be it on-prem or cloud to be observed and learnt fast.
AppFactor visually builds out app interactions, application flows, call stacks and communications for application processes, runtime, batch, services, and background processes.
AppFactor provides ultra high resolution detail of your estate with intricate insight and observation of each application process and their intra and inter-dependencies
2
Analyse Your Applications
Log in to your AppFactor instance to assess the collected data and inventory, with modernization centric analysis and data-driven insights to determine app complexity, business impact, risk and technical debt.
Use AppFactor's AI engine to formalise a plan based on metrics, priority and impact to build a robust modernization strategy that's actionable
3
Modernize
Select and configure a single process or the whole application stack across multiple hosts into separated, modernized cloud-native containers, via a powerful UI and optimized process.
Capture and build all of the app dependencies into lean, secure containers ready for smart deployment to any cloud-native target.
