  • Modernization today requires re-architecting applications and data infrastructure to support AI, not just lift-and-shift to the cloud.
  • Legacy applications need to be refactored or rebuilt to handle structured and unstructured data, embeddings, and vector search capabilities.
  • MongoDB’s AMP practice uses GenAI tools, structured techniques, and skilled engineers to modernize applications, reducing costs and increasing speed by 200-400%.

And the barrier is in the form of speed and cost. how do we reduce the cost of modernization and how do we increase the speed? And the examples that we are seeing now is anywhere from 200 to 400% speed in our modernization.
