Many companies struggle to keep up with the ever-changing digital landscape due to outdated legacy applications. These applications often rely on aging technology, making them difficult to scale, maintain, and secure. While completely replacing these systems can be disruptive and risky, traditional modernization methods can be slow.
Thankfully, there are new approaches that organizations can leverage. Here are four key trends that helped VoltusWave to transform into legacy modernization:
1. Cloud Migration and Cloud-Native Development
Moving legacy applications to the cloud offers immediate benefits like scalability and cost-efficiency. However, true modernization comes with cloud-native development. This approach utilizes microservices, containerization, and container orchestration (like Kubernetes) to build applications designed specifically for the cloud. Gartner predicts that by 2028, over 95% of new digital initiatives will be built on cloud-native platforms due to their flexibility and efficiency.
2. DevOps
DevOps streamlines software delivery by automating and integrating development and IT operations. By fostering a culture of continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), automation, and collaboration, DevOps helps modernize legacy applications while reducing risks and improving quality.
3. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI is revolutionizing how developers build and update applications, accelerating legacy modernization. AI-powered tools automate tasks like code analysis, testing, and performance optimization, making the process faster and smoother. Additionally, AI supports the development of cloud-native applications that improve user experience and productivity.
4. No-Code Development
Similar to AI, no-code development platforms enable a faster and more efficient modernization process. These platforms allow you to build new applications from scratch or refactor existing ones without extensive coding experience. The right no-code platform supports other trends like cloud-native development, DevOps practices, and AI-powered automation. Additionally, no-code offers a phased and modular approach, minimizing risks and disruptions. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 70% of new applications will be built using no-code or low-code technologies, a significant increase from 2020.
