Spec score 7.4 #18 of 32 in Cloud Migration Tools

What it is

Konveyor is an open-source project for developers and platform teams modernizing legacy applications for Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies. Konveyor Hub offers a web console for viewing application landscapes, categorizing systems, analyzing workloads, and managing migration plans. Kantra performs static analysis for Go, .Net, Node.js, and Java and can generate Kubernetes assets. Questionnaire assessments report modernization suitability and risks, while code analysis checks source, binaries, and dependencies against predefined or custom rules and estimates effort. Applications can be retrieved from Git, Subversion, and Maven repositories. Konveyor AI uses static-analysis context with configurable LLM providers to generate resolutions and apply code changes to Java applications; the project provides more than 2,400 Java rules and supports custom rules. Deployment is self-hosted on Kubernetes distributions, and a Visual Studio Code extension is available. The AI Solution Server requires a 5Gi RWO persistent volume.
