App Modernization

Refactor outdated applications into scalable, high-performing systems.

Overview

Why teams choose Kryon for App Modernization

From .NET monoliths to legacy Java estates, we modernize applications with the strangler-fig pattern — one capability at a time, with zero big-bang risk.

What We Do

Core capabilities

Strangler-Fig Migration

Replace pieces incrementally while the legacy keeps running.

Containerization

Dockerize, then orchestrate with Kubernetes or serverless.

API-First Refactor

Wrap legacy with clean APIs to unlock new front-ends.

Data Untangling

Split shared databases into bounded-context stores.

Security Uplift

Patch the gaps that legacy systems quietly accumulated.

Performance Tuning

Find the 10× wins hiding in profiling data.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Will the legacy keep running during migration?

Yes — strangler-fig means traffic flips per slice, not per system.

How do you handle data security and IP protection?

Every engagement starts with an NDA. We follow ISO 27001 controls — locked-down workstations, VPN-only access, encrypted backups, and least-privilege repository access. All IP, source code and design files transfer to you on delivery.

What does pricing look like?

We offer fixed-price for well-defined scope, time-and-materials for evolving work, and dedicated-team retainers for long-term partnerships. Most clients start with a fixed-price discovery and convert to a retainer after the first release.

Do you offer a trial or paid pilot?

Yes — for new partnerships we run a 2-week paid pilot with a clear deliverable. If you're not satisfied, we part ways with no further commitment.

How do you communicate during the project?

Daily async updates, twice-weekly standups, weekly demos, and a dedicated Slack channel. You'll always know what's shipping next, what's blocked, and where the team needs your input.
