Traditional mainframe modernization involved disparate tools and lengthy manual handoffs. AWS's current update integrates portfolio assessment, function identification, requirements extraction, and cloud-native code production into a unified workflow.

Each generated requirement links back to source code for auditability, while integration with development environments supports interactive documentation and traceability. This automation reduces modernization timelines from years to months without altering application architecture, facilitating evidence-based transformation across all AWS Regions offering this service.
