MongoDB, Inc. has announced the launch of MongoDB AMP (Application Modernization Platform), an AI-powered solution designed to help enterprises rapidly transform legacy systems into modern, scalable applications. By combining AI-driven tooling, a proven delivery framework, and the expertise of AMP delivery engineers, the platform enables organizations to accelerate application transformation while reducing complexity, risk, and cost.
At the core of AMP is MongoDB’s flexible document model and an architecture built to support continuous change. By leveraging AMP’s AI-powered capabilities and MongoDB’s structured modernization framework, enterprises have reported code transformation speeds up to 10 times faster and overall modernization projects accelerated by 2–3 times.
Tackling the Burden of Legacy Applications
Enterprises across industries continue to struggle with legacy applications that remain mission-critical yet difficult and expensive to maintain. Many of these systems, built on rigid data architectures and outdated technology stacks, limit agility, increase security and compliance risks, and block innovation in areas such as generative AI.
According to the Consortium for Information & Software Quality, technical debt in the U.S. costs nearly $4 trillion annually in poor software quality, system failures, lost productivity, and maintenance.
“Enterprises are increasingly grappling with the burden of complex legacy applications, constrained by rigid data foundations and outdated architectures that stifle innovation,” said Rachel Stephens, Research Director at RedMonk. “While traditionally recognized for its database capabilities, MongoDB’s strategic expansion into an AI-powered Application Modernization Platform highlights a critical understanding: the data layer remains an indispensable foundation for truly modern, scalable services. AMP empowers organizations to go beyond incremental ‘lift and shift’ migrations, instead focusing on full-stack transformation from the data up.”

Moving Beyond “Lift and Shift”
Traditional modernization often relies on costly, multi-year consulting projects that can be slow, manual, and resource-intensive frequently stalling before generating meaningful outcomes. In many cases, these efforts only shift legacy applications from one relational database to another without truly addressing underlying architectural constraints.
“Research shows that too many organizations spend time and budget on low-value, high-effort work simply to keep the lights on which impacts their ability to keep pace with competitors,” said Vinod Bagal, Senior Vice President, Modernization and Transformation at MongoDB. “MongoDB AMP offers enterprises a better approach to modernization. It helps companies move from traditional to transformative with remarkable speed and quality, opening doors to innovation and cost savings.”
Proven Success with Global Enterprises
MongoDB AMP is the result of more than two years of collaboration with leading enterprises across regulated industries. Early adopters have already realized significant results:
-
Bendigo Bank in Australia cut the development time needed to migrate a core banking application to MongoDB Atlas by 90%. AI-driven testing reduced test case execution time from 80 hours to just five minutes.
-
Lombard Odier migrated applications from its SQL database to MongoDB, accelerating code migration by 60x and reducing regression testing from three days to three hours.
-
IntellectAI, a leading enterprise fintech company, modernized critical components of its Wealth Management platform with MongoDB, enhancing performance, shortening development cycles, and enabling generative AI capabilities.
“At IntellectAI, we are redefining how enterprises unlock value with AI,” said Deepak Dastrala, Chief Technology Officer at IntellectAI. “Modernizing with MongoDB has transformed how we deliver value to our customers, freeing us from bottlenecks and accelerating the realization of our AI vision. One of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, with trillions under management, relies on our flagship enterprise AI platform, Purple Fabric (powered by MongoDB) to support real-time investment decisions. Together, IntellectAI and MongoDB are enabling clients to turn AI vision into measurable business impact.”
