Moderne
Automated mass refactoring at enterprise scale — stewards of the OpenRewrite ecosystem.
About
Moderne (moderne.ai) is the company behind OpenRewrite, the open-source automated refactoring ecosystem. OpenRewrite runs prepackaged refactoring recipes — framework migrations, security fixes, stylistic consistency — across entire codebases, reducing hours of migration work to minutes. It has deep bench strength in Java via Gradle and Maven plugins, with growing language coverage.
OpenRewrite itself is Apache 2.0 licensed and community-driven; Moderne's commercial platform adds fleet-scale orchestration: running recipes across thousands of repositories, tracking tech-debt remediation, and enforcing codebase standards. The model is deterministic recipe execution rather than LLM guesswork, which makes results repeatable and reviewable.
What it can do
- Prepackaged refactoring recipes (migrations, security fixes)
- Gradle and Maven plugins
- Custom recipe authoring
- Fleet-scale multi-repo orchestration (Moderne platform)
- Deterministic, repeatable transformations
Setup
For OpenRewrite: add the Gradle/Maven plugin, pick recipes from the catalog, run locally or in CI. For Moderne platform: contact sales for fleet onboarding.
Prerequisites
A JVM-based project for the deepest recipe coverage; build-tool access (Gradle/Maven).
