Application Modernization
Agent-native rewrites in 8–16 weeks. Not 18-month lift-and-shift projects.
Traditional Approach
Legacy applications trap business logic in untestable code. Retool, Appian, and Mendix create new UI layers without eliminating manual work. Manus and Tembo create new data dependencies without solving the underlying architecture. Lift-and-shift migrations take 18 months and deliver nothing new.
- Retool / Appian / Mendix dashboards on top of legacy systems
- Manus / Tembo as point solutions over data architecture problems
- 18-month lift-and-shift projects
- Big-bang cutover with high risk
- New technical debt at every layer
x2machines Approach
x2machines uses Legacy Scaffold & Extension patterns to wrap legacy systems in agent-accessible APIs, then progressively replaces core functionality with agent-native processes — without downtime or data migration risk.
- Agent-native interfaces that eliminate the low-code layer entirely
- Knowledge Substrate with proper Graph + Vector + Skill Library design
- 8–16 week agent-native migration
- Strangler fig pattern with zero downtime
- Clean bounded contexts with anti-corruption layers
