Accelerating Legacy .NET Modernization at Bio-Rad with AWS Transform and Kiro
.NET on AWS Blog
This article describes how Bio-Rad Laboratories modernized legacy .NET and Classic ASP applications using AWS Transform and Kiro, reducing migration timelines from 9-10 months to 2-3 months.
- AWS Transform custom automated ~70% of code conversion from Classic ASP/VBScript and .NET Framework to ASP.NET Core 8 Blazor
- Kiro accelerated the remaining 30% of residual development including custom logic, UI polish, and integration testing
- Bio-Rad migrated 365+ pages of tightly coupled logic with zero database schema changes
- Unity Next feature migration bridged legacy .NET monolith to cloud-native containerized GoLang service on Amazon ECS
- Timeline compression achieved 65-75% reduction for standalone applications and 50% for cloud-native integration
- Key lessons: invest in discovery upfront, refine rules iteratively, plan for residual 30% work, and test continuously
AWS Transform and Kiro enabled Bio-Rad to modernize their entire legacy application portfolio within a single year instead of deferring to the following year, improving security posture and customer experience.
