Application Modernization

Modernize with Containers: Migrate Legacy Java Applications :
On the journey to the cloud, enterprise developers are facing challenges moving their existing on-premises applications to the cloud quickly and cost-effectively. One of the best solutions to this challenge is to modernize the platform infrastructure of an existing application and update its internal architecture and features.

In this exclusive online workshop designed by IBM Developer and Infosys, we will demonstrate how to take a Java Application running on-premises in WebSphere and modernize it to run as a container on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud.

In this workshop we will:

Discuss the theory of application modernization and best practices to consider when modernizing applications
Cover real-world scenarios from Infosys Architects
A demonstration of using IBM Transformation Advisor to analyze Java EE applications

There will also be a hands-on workshop run on IBM Developer Skills Network to cover the following:

Building a Java-based container image locally based on the artifacts built from Transformation Advisor.
Pushing the container image to a container registry
Deploying the modernized application to an OpenShift cluster

5. Why modernize an application? Moving apps to a modern architecture takes PLANNING The best candidates are those with high business value and small technical effort Business Value Technical Effort • Is the app being upgraded? • Are there service outages? • Is the user base growing or shrinking? • Written in language no longer supported? • Are libraries deprecated?
6. Replatform Refactor Repackage The three ways to migrate
7. Replatform example • Legacy app migrated in full. From traditional WebSphere Application Server to WebSphere Liberty running in a cluster • Transformation Advisor provides guidance with equivalent Liberty config for migrated app • Associated middleware is left in place and still used by migrated app Legacy app Middleware Before After Migrated app Liberty Container
8. war 1 Repackage to microservices • Components (.war files) of legacy app (.ear) migrated to separate Liberty containers • DB2 is left in place and still used by migrated app • IBM MQ is partitioned. Container version handles communications between migrated modules. Legacy version handles communications between migrated modules and other legacy apps Legacy app (.ear) Before After war 1 war 2 war 2 Migrated apps Middleware
9. Refactor using the strangler pattern • Component (war 3) of legacy app is rebuilt as a web app and a set of microservices • New microservices and app use their own containerized data and messaging middleware • Legacy app proxies all requests for war 3 to new implementation and handles everything else. Over time more of the legacy app is rebuilt and eventually it will be no longer be needed Legacy app (.ear) Before After war 1 war 3 Web app Microservice 1 Web app + microservices war 2 … Microservice n Middleware
10. Ten Reasons to Modernize Applications 1. Reduce resource usage 2. Reduce license costs 3. Achieve faster time to market 4. Enable developments of bigger new features 5. Run mission critical applications on a future ready platform 6. Improve operational efficiency 7. Increase developer productivity 8. Improve user experience 9. Handle expensive legacy applications 10. Keep managers happy Reference : http://heidloff.net/article/ten-reasons-why-enterprises-should-modernize-applications/
