Rather, of the millions of lines of code they may have, some may be separated out to become microservices, while some may be moved as they are to containers or virtual machines (VMs), while others still may stay exactly as they are — all of it part of a process defined by cloud native modernization platform vFunction as “continuous modernization.”

Specifically, this latest release sees the launch of the vFunction Application Transformation Engine (vAXE), the expanded vFunction Modernization Platform (vMP), and the ability to analyze database dependency to help with the transition to microservices.

When The New Stack first spoke with vFunction earlier this year, the company offered up the example of a monolithic application with 100,000 lines of code and 250 classes, but now the focus has shifted to include the idea of “megaliths”, which vFunction defines as applications of over 10 million lines of code and over 10,000 Java classes.

We want to assist customers to make the right decision for these applications, and based on the information that we provide them, they can make that decision, and then flag those applications that are not a fit for refactoring.” Part of the problem for some of these companies, explained Rafalin, is that the megalith is so large and complex that, as they try to modernize their codebase, they can’t keep pace.
