AWS Transform for Java

Forgeahead AWS Transform for Java service enables a faster path to cloud readiness, improved application resilience and significant cost savings by eliminating outdated components and legacy infrastructure dependencies. This service is equally valuable for businesses under compliance or security pressure due to deprecated Java versions or unsupported libraries.

• Delivery Mechanism: We begin with a comprehensive codebase assessment, using Amazon Q Developer to analyze outdated components, identify modernization opportunities and highlight test coverage gaps. Based on this, we define a tailored transformation roadmap covering runtime upgrades, framework migrations and modularization strategies. The actual transformation is executed in phases and in a iterative manner.

• Identify and Mitigate Risks: We have a structured and repeatable Risk Identification and Mitigation Process that aligns with the AWS Well-Architected Framework. This process is embedded into each JAVA Transformation engagement and is used to identify risks early, define mitigation strategies and assign owners to resolution tasks. A formal Risk Register is created during the Planning phase and reviewed weekly. The register is mapped to the Well-Architected Pillars (Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization and Operational Excellence). For compliance-sensitive workloads (e.g. BFSI or Healthcare), we also consider domain-specific risks (PCI DSS, HIPAA etc.) and implement additional controls.

• Secure AWS Accounts Governance: Our internal Security Standard Operating Procedures include a well-defined and repeatable process for governing AWS accounts, whether we operate within customer-owned environments or provision of accounts on their behalf. We align these practices with the AWS Startup Security Baseline and the AWS Well-Architected Framework - Security Pillar.

• Security Controls: For long-running workloads (e.g. automation jobs), we require machine access to use IAM roles attached to EC2 instances or Lambda functions, not static credentials. For production workloads, we enforce environmental isolation using AWS Organizations and resource-level tagging to segregate access per OU/team. IAM Access Analyzer is used to generate least-privilege permissions after reviewing actual activity.

• Governance and Feedback: Each customer engagement is assigned a Project Manager who acts as the Customer Advocate throughout the project. A governance calendar is established during kickoff that defines when and how feedback will be gathered. All meetings include time to capture the Voice of the Customer including feedback on modernization tools (e.g. AWS Transform, Amazon Q)

Our offering is ideal for:

• Enterprises with small/Medium/large scale Java 7/8 or Legacy Frameworks (Struts, older Spring)
• Customers Migrating from Windows to Linux
• Organizations moving from On-Prem to AWS Cloud This service is also valuable for businesses under compliance or security pressure due to deprecated Java versions or unsupported libraries.
