vFunction Introduces Architectural Observability Manager
October 23, 2023

vFunction introduced a new product, Architectural Observability Manager (AO), an application modernization solution to continuously manage and remediate architectural technical debt.

vFunction AO baselines, monitors, detects, and identifies critical application architecture events throughout the software development lifecycle and generate a list of prescriptive modernization “to do” tasks to fix these architectural issues.

“Until now, architects lacked the tools to track architectural drift and help their organizations to successfully measure, monitor, and fix technical debt,” said Moti Rafalin, CEO of vFunction. “Architectural meltdowns and technical debt disasters have become all too commonplace – technology leaders must move to a continuous modernization culture where software architects, developers, and engineering leaders are armed with architectural observability tools to find and fix these problems.”

vFunction Architectural Observability Manager enables organizations to address architectural technical debt by empowering architects with detailed visibility and context into an existing application’s architecture. This enables them to profile and baseline how an application is architected, identify domains and cross-domain pollution, and collect observable dynamic operational and static data.

With vFunction AO, architects can proactively fix issues, set baselines, detect drift, identify significant architectural events, and resolve architectural anomalies. This enables architects to catch and fix drift and debt issues early and often while tracking technical debt posture across their application estate.

vFunction Architectural Observability Manager, using AI and prescriptive analytics, empowers software architects to:

- Baseline, monitor, and alert on architectural drift issues such as the detection of new services, new common classes found, service exclusivity changes, new dead code uncovered, new high debt classes identified and more.

- Prioritize and act on detailed modernization tasks from a list of prescriptive AO-generated “to do” items that pinpoint what to fix and where to fix it.

- Browse and share architectural and code fixes with Agile team members, engineers, and peers with textual Generative AI content.

- Refactor into new microservices when ready with vFunction Refactoring Engine Add-on Module which automates the extraction of AO-identified domains into microservices.

“A major catalyst for addressing technical debt is cloud migration; organizations are looking for more agility, more innovation, more cost control, and more scalability by modernizing their applications, and not just migrating them,” said Rafalin.
