AMA: Ask your Monolith Anything. Introducing the query engine for monoliths.

vFunction has developed a GenAI-powered query engine that allows architects and developers to interact with the architecture of monolithic applications using natural language prompts, eliminating the need for custom scripts and guesswork. This tool enables users to ask complex questions about their application's structure, such as identifying classes by CPU usage or finding methods in call trees, and receive results in a readable format like tables or CSVs. By translating user prompts into validated internal queries, the engine maintains data privacy by ensuring no application data is sent to the GenAI provider, only the natural language prompt. This innovation facilitates conversational architecture analysis, making it easier to understand system behaviors, identify architectural coupling, and document technical structures, ultimately aiding in tackling technical debt and transitioning monoliths into modular, cloud-ready applications.
