System and method for application migration between cloud platforms

A system for migrating an application from a source cloud platform to a target cloud platform, the system comprising:

• a memory storing program instructions;
• a processor configured to execute program instructions stored in the memory;
• and an assessment and migration engine executed by the processor, and configured to:
• evaluate migration parameters based on a source code of the application, a runtime data associated with the application and a target cloud platform data, wherein the migration parameters include cloud impediments associated with the application, a tech-stack suitability score, anti-patterns associated with the application, a migration complexity score associated with the application, and equivalent backing services associated with the target cloud platform, and wherein evaluating the anti-patterns associated with the application comprises:
• identifying one or more predetermined anti pattern expressions within the source code of the application;
• evaluating the anti-patterns based on the identified one or more anti-pattern expressions using a predefined anti-pattern mapping table comprising the one or more anti-patterns mapped with respective anti-pattern expressions;
• and
• categorizing the evaluated anti patterns into a plurality of categories comprising rehost, replatform, and rebuild based on complexity of the identified one or more anti-pattern expressions;
• assess a migration readiness of the application to the target cloud platform based on one or more evaluated migration parameters;
• generate a migration readiness report based on the evaluated migration parameters, the assessed migration readiness and the runtime data of the application;
• generate deployment configurations as per the target cloud platform for migrating the application based on the migration readiness report, and wherein the deployment configurations as per the target cloud platform are generated if respective values of the tech-stack suitability score and the migration complexity score are within a preset threshold, and the anti-patterns are in one or more categories refactor and replatform;
• and
• migrate the application from the source cloud platform to the target cloud platform based on the generated deployment configurations.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code stored thereon, the computer-readable program code comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
• evaluate migration parameters based on a source code of the application, a runtime data associated with the application and a target cloud platform data, wherein the migration parameters include cloud impediments associated with the application, a tech-stack suitability score, anti-patterns associated with the application, a migration complexity score associated with the application, and equivalent backing services associated with the target cloud platform, and wherein evaluating the anti-patterns associated with the application comprises:
• identifying one or more predetermined anti-pattern expressions within the source code of the application;
• evaluating the anti-patterns based on the identified one or more anti pattern expressions using a predefined anti pattern mapping table comprising the one or more anti patterns mapped with respective anti-pattern expressions;
• and
• categorizing the evaluated anti-patterns into a plurality of categories comprising rehost, replatform, and rebuild based on complexity of the identified one or more anti-pattern expressions;
• assess a migration readiness of the application to the target cloud platform based on one or more evaluated migration parameters;
• generate a migration readiness report based on the evaluated migration parameters, the assessed migration readiness and the runtime data of the application;
• generate deployment configurations as per the target cloud platform for migrating the application based on the migration readiness report, and wherein the deployment configurations as per the target cloud platform are generated if respective values of the tech-stack suitability score and the migration complexity score are within a preset threshold, and the anti-patterns are in one or more categories refactor and replatform;
• and
• migrate the application from the source cloud platform to the target cloud platform based on the generated deployment configurations.
