AWS Transform for Mainframe: Traceable Reimagine Workflow

AWS Transform for mainframe now delivers a connected, traceable reimagine experience from assessment through code generation. Previously, modernizing mainframe applications required months of analysis across multiple tools for discovery, reverse engineering, and code generation with manual handoffs between phases. With this launch, enterprises running z/OS COBOL and PL/I workloads can assess their portfolio to identify the discrete business functions, extract business rules, generate development-ready requirements, and produce traceable cloud-native code in a single connected workflow.

The experience starts with a portfolio assessment, where AWS Transform systematically identifies and catalogs discrete business functions. Selected business functions flow directly into the reimagine workflow, creating a connected path from portfolio analysis through code generation. For each business function, AWS Transform generates development-ready requirements with full traceability, flowing directly into Kiro and other IDEs through MCP-based integrations. Teams can generate interactive documentation for any requirement or code directly in the IDE. Every requirement traces back to the source code, so teams can audit any transformation decision back to its origin. This end-to-end approach compresses what previously took years of manual effort into months of automated, evidence-based modernization.

These capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform for mainframe is available. For more information, see the AWS Region table.
