Application Modernization
on AWS
Storm Reply modernizes your applications — from replatforming and refactoring to cloud-native architectures on AWS.
From Analysis to Cloud-Native Architecture
Our structured modernization process transforms your legacy applications into scalable, cost-efficient cloud architectures on AWS.
Analysis
Assessment of your application portfolio, identification of modernization candidates, and creation of a prioritized business case.
Strategy
Definition of the optimal modernization strategy per workload: replatform, refactor, or cloud-native redevelopment.
Replatform / Refactor
Migration to managed AWS services or decomposition into microservices and serverless architectures.
Cloud-Native
Building scalable, event-driven architectures with container orchestration, serverless, and managed databases.
Optimization
Continuous performance optimization, FinOps, monitoring, and operational excellence in ongoing operations.
Our Core Competencies
Specializing in the most demanding modernization scenarios with proven methodologies and AWS-native tools.
Replatforming
Migrating your applications to managed AWS services with minimal code changes. Immediate benefits through auto-scaling, high availability, and reduced operational overhead.
Refactoring
Decomposing monolithic applications into loosely coupled microservices. We fundamentally modernize the architecture for maximum agility and independent scaling of individual components.
Serverless Transformation
Complete transition to event-driven, serverless architectures. No infrastructure management, automatic scale-to-zero, and usage-based billing.
Containers & Kubernetes
Containerizing existing applications and orchestrating with Amazon ECS, EKS, or Fargate. From container strategy to production operations with CI/CD pipelines.
Database Modernization
Migration from Oracle and SQL Server to managed AWS databases. We free you from expensive licenses and leverage cloud-native database services for better performance and scalability.
Successful Modernization Projects
Measurable outcomes from Storm Reply cloud transformation projects.
Zero Outages After Modernization
Complete modernization of IT infrastructure in one year — from weekly outages to enterprise-grade stability without a single incident.
Cost Reduction Through Cloud-Native
10x cost reduction for data crawling operations while freeing up 30-40% of operational capacity through cloud-native architecture.
BI Dashboards Modernized with GenAI
GenAI-powered automation for migrating over 10,000 BI dashboards to QuickSight with Amazon Bedrock — migration time reduced from weeks to hours.
Serverless Microservices Architecture
Transformation of a monolithic IoT platform into a 99% serverless microservices architecture with AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and DynamoDB.
Customers & Partners
Cloud transformation for leading companies in automotive, manufacturing, energy, and technology.

FAQ on Application Modernization
Replatforming involves moving applications to managed AWS services such as RDS, ECS, or EKS with minimal code changes. Refactoring, on the other hand, means fundamentally restructuring the application architecture — for example, decomposing monoliths into microservices or transitioning to serverless architectures with AWS Lambda.
Modernization is worthwhile when legacy systems cause high operating costs, scalability is limited, security risks exist, or time-to-market for new features is too long. Expiring licenses (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server) or end-of-support dates are also common triggers.
Cloud-native describes applications that are specifically built or rebuilt for the cloud. They leverage microservices, containers (ECS, EKS), serverless services (Lambda), managed databases, and CI/CD pipelines to achieve maximum scalability, resilience, and development velocity.
Oracle databases can be migrated to Amazon Aurora (PostgreSQL- or MySQL-compatible) or Amazon DynamoDB using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool and the Database Migration Service (DMS). Storm Reply analyzes the schema, dependencies, and performance requirements and executes the migration with minimal downtime.
Storm Reply guides the entire modernization process: from application portfolio analysis and strategy development (replatform vs. refactor) to the implementation of cloud-native architectures. As an AWS Premier Consulting Partner with 16 competencies and 600+ cloud projects, we bring deep expertise in containers, serverless, database modernization, and DevOps.
