Untangle Your Legacy Monolith

Axal decreases the risk of modernization by automating the identification of architectural technical debt in monolithic codebases and prioritizing refactoring opportunities based on business goals. We provide observability into your codebase, finding anti-patterns that stop your team from reaching their goals. By identifying domains (logical areas of functionality) within the monolith, Axal quantifies areas of technical debt into KPIs, helping executives pinpoint where modernization efforts will be most effective so your team can focus on the important work first.

Samai Patel, Founder

Studied CS and Cybersecurity. At the age of 20 I started the largest student contracting group on the East Coast (App Dev Club) that has several Fortune 500 clients and makes life saving software for hospitals. My technical knowledge is great for development, but better for selling.

Company Launches

Hey everyone, I’m Nand - Founder at Axal👋

We built a tool that uses deterministic methods to automate the hardest parts of application modernization— identifying architectural bottlenecks and prioritizing those issues based on business value. Once the issues are broken down by Axal, AI can autonomously collaborate with your team to resolve them.

The Problem

Everyone knows that software teams cut corners in development over time, resulting in accumulation of debt tech overtime that slows them down and raises costs. Until now, to address this problem there needed to be long modernization efforts, where stakeholders spent months finding possible solutions to the problem, if you could even find and train the team members needed to do the work.

Our Solution: One platform for Application Modernization

Axal uses deterministic methods to provide teams with clear observability into architectural technical debt.

We show tech debt scores tailored to your goals. For example, if maintainability is your focus, we display the maintainability index, aligning business impact with priorities to guide effective action.

Technical teams can leverage our graphs to gain clear insights into class-level and domain-level codebase relationships.

Architectural issues - domain exclusivity, circular dependencies, dead code, etc. - are automatically detected based on the goals that an organization makes, and engineers can work with Axal to assign their priority.

Once prioritized, Axal leverages AI to autonomously address issues, while ensuring none of the existing code breaks.
