AWS Launches Transform Preview to Cut Tech Debt Across 1,000s of Repositories

3 articles · Updated · AWS Blog · Jun 11

Summary

  • AWS said the preview scans codebases continuously and can generate pull requests automatically to fix technical debt across thousands of repositories.
  • 30% of IT budgets can be consumed by engineering organizations, AWS said, as AI-assisted coding speeds change and leaves teams relying on fragmented tools and lagging status reports.
  • Hours after connecting source-control systems, customers can see prioritized findings on end-of-life dependencies, deprecated frameworks and security issues, then launch remediation campaigns and track PR creation, merges and compliance.
  • The capability includes built-in fixes for Java upgrades, SDK migrations and library updates, while custom policies and transformations let companies enforce internal standards and approved libraries.
  • Available today in preview, the service extends AWS Transform from one-off modernization projects into continuous maintenance, with access through the web app, Kiro Power, MCP and coding-agent integrations.
