There are more than 21 billion Java virtual machines today running predominantly monolithic applications. Many could take advantage of cloud native architectures, but rebuilding them for this new environment would be complex, time-consuming, and could require taking employees from other, more value-adding tasks, noted Moti Rafalin, CEO and co-founder of a new company publicly launched Tuesday, vFunction. This company has created a system to transform monolithic Java applications into microservices, using what it claims is a scalable, repeatable factory model.

There’s no effective technology to do that, and that is what we set out to do almost three years ago.”

An added benefit of the dynamic analysis, Rafalin mentioned, is that vFunction also identifies “dead code” that users can get rid of because it is no longer being used.
