A comprehensive content management system (CMS) like Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) provides users an opportunity to build websites, mobile apps and manage marketing content to determine personalized experiences.
AEM is known for its ability to scale content and digital asset management for corporations that curate swift and agile customer experiences. Available through on-premises and cloud-native deployments, AEM stands tall among CMS variants, providing a one-stop hub for documentation, customer experience and marketing promotional materials.
With essential deployment versions, modern enterprises are investing in crucial changes through migration (on-premise to cloud or version updates) as their business needs grow.
About AEMaaCS: Automating the Migration Process
Migrating Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.5 to AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) is a complex, daunting and technically demanding task.
The process involves transforming legacy code into a cloud-compatible format that adheres to modern standards. Legacy projects often feature tightly coupled components, deprecated APIs, and custom implementations incompatible with AEMaaCS standards.
Manual refactoring is labour-intensive, prone to errors, and lacks scalability for large codebases. Additionally, maintaining functional parity, minimum downtime and ensuring adherence to AEMaaCS best practices further complicate the migration process.
What organizations need is a scalable, efficient, and accurate solution to automate and streamline this migration process.
Refactor.AI – Supercharging your AEM Cloud Migration
Infogain’s GenAI-based tool – Refactor.ai is designed to automate the refactoring of AEM 6.x code for compatibility with AEMaaCS. The process involves:
- Employing Generative AI to analyze, transform and optimize legacy code
- Ensuring compliance with cloud service requirements
- Leveraging OpenAI & Claude models and robust engineering practices
This GenAI tool delivers high accuracy, scalability and efficiency for organizations contemplating this migration.
Figure: A cloud migration augmented with Refactor.ai reduces the overall migration journey by 50% or more.
The Migration Process: A Quick Snapshot
- Input File Handling: All files are ingested and broken into small, manageable information chunks.
- Metadata Application: Metadata tags are added for contextual understanding and independent, context-aware processing.
- Token Compliance Check: Chunks are sized for compatibility with OpenAI’s processing limits.
- AI-Powered Conversion: The compliant chunks are converted into AEMaaCS-compatible formats.
- Validation and Assembly: The converted chunks are reassembled into complete, functional classes.
- Storage and Access: Final outputs are stored in a vector database or provided for download.
Refactor.ai: Benefits that Outsmart Competitors
1. Automation & Efficiency with Governance:
- Automates repetitive tasks, significantly reduces manual effort and accelerates the migration process by 50-60%.
- Keeps developers in their favorite IDE, enabling a seamless workflow, while ensuring auditable, PR-friendly diffs for governed modernization.
2. Scalability:
The chunking and token-compliance mechanisms ensure the tool handles large codebases seamlessly.
3. Accuracy and Consistency:
AI ensures precise and uniform code refactoring, thereby minimizing human errors. It reduces redundant code and lowers overall refactoring effort.
4. Futureproofing:
Organizations can access and reuse the data for future projects or reference purposes, since information is stored in vector codes. This maintains code quality aligned with AEM Cloud standards.
5. Reduced Downtime:
The automated nature of the tool enables quicker migration, reducing the impact on business operations.
Real-World Impact
Our team of experts at Infogain migrated multiple brand sites for a large Danish pharmaceutical brand. This involved moving from AEM 6.5 to AEMaaCS version by leveraging Refactor.ai.
This migration engagement included key aspects like:
- 60% effort savings within code migration
- Customized refactoring for complex legacy patterns
AEM Cloud Migration: A Step Ahead of the Rest
Modern organizations are increasingly adopting AEM as a Cloud Service due to its multiple benefits. With our proprietary GenAI-powered refactoring solution, the code migration process becomes easier, ensuring a smoother transition with high-quality, cloud-ready code.
