vFunction Architectural observability for microservices and application modernization

What is vFunction?

vFunction offers an AI-driven architectural observability platform designed to help organizations understand, manage, and optimize their software architectures. It provides the tools and insights necessary for both governing microservices and modernizing monolithic applications.

The platform analyzes applications, providing deep visibility into their architecture. This allows companies to uncover and resolve issues related to technical debt, improve system performance, and automate aspects of the software modernization process.

Features

Architectural Discovery and Visualization: Automatically identify and map services, resources, API calls, and more.
Architectural Drift Identification: Identify changes in dependencies, services, resources, and more.
Anti-Pattern Identification: Identify anti-patterns such as circular dependencies and multi-hop flows.
Pattern and Standard Enforcement: Set rules to enforce, alert, or allow dependencies between services or groups of services.
AI-Based Identification and Mapping: Automatically identify and map functional domains and entry points.
Technical Debt Quantification: Monitors architecture to quantify technical debt, complexity, and risk.
Automatic Code Extraction: Accelerate the transformation of monolithic applications to microservices.
Automatic API Creation: Generate the necessary APIs and client libraries for newly created microservices.

FAQs

How many users can I have on vFunction?

The vFunction platform has no limit on users.
Does vFunction offer trials?

Yes, for application modernization we offer a 30-day free trial. For microservices, we offer 14-day free trials, as well as a free option for up to ten services observed.
Is vFunction on-prem or cloud-based?

vFunction is installed on-premises, so all your data remains secure and doesn’t leave your environment. In certain cases, a cloud version can be accommodated.
What languages does vFunction support?

vFunction supports Java applications (1.6+) and .NET applications (4.0+).
What agents does your solution use?

vFunction architectural observability uses the tracing data from OpenTelemetry (OTel) agents.
