Customized modernization for custom code
On top of that, there’s a whole new agent, AWS Transform custom, designed to reduce the manual effort involved in custom code modernization by learning a custom pattern and operationalizing it throughout the target codebase or SDK. In order to feed the agent the unique pattern, enterprise teams can use natural-language instructions, internal documentation, or example code snippets that illustrate how specific upgrades should be performed.
AWS Transform custom then applies these patterns consistently across large, multi-repository codebases, automatically identifying similar structures and making the required changes at scale; developers can then review and fine-tune the output, which the agent adapts and operationalizes, allowing it to continually refine its accuracy, the company said.
Generic is no longer good enough
Tyagi said that the custom code modernization approach taken by AWS is better than most generic modernization tools, which rely solely on pre-packaged rules for modernization.
