Atlas Orders | Journey From Weblogic to AWS Fargate
A public-sector case study on taking a customer and order platform from Ant, SVN, JSP scriptlets, and manual releases to a cleaner engineering baseline that could support real modernisation.

Where Port60 adds value
Move difficult platforms forward without rewrite theatre
Port60 works best where change has to happen under real constraints: ageing estates, complex integrations, cloud migration, regulated delivery, and teams that need a route forward that is incremental, credible, and commercially realistic.
Legacy modernisation
Create a credible path out of brittle estates, ageing runtimes, and tightly coupled platforms without betting everything on a risky rewrite.
- Modernisation roadmaps
- Incremental refactoring
- Risk-managed change
Cloud and platform uplift
Shape stronger AWS or Azure delivery with better deployment patterns, clearer platform decisions, and the operational thinking needed for live services.
- Cloud migration direction
- CI/CD and release improvement
- Observability and resilience
Integration and service design
Untangle fragile interfaces, simplify service boundaries, and improve the way systems exchange data, events, and responsibilities.
- API and integration reviews
- Service boundary design
- Safer orchestration patterns
Delivery recovery and leadership
Bring senior technical direction to programmes that are under pressure, stuck in complexity, or struggling to move important change forward.
- Architecture reviews
- Technical problem solving
- Team enablement
Why clients start a conversation
Make clearer technical decisions under real delivery pressure
The right fit is rarely greenfield. It is usually a live platform that needs to evolve safely, a delivery programme carrying real risk, or a team that needs senior technical direction without the consultancy theatre.
Bring hard-to-change platforms into the present
Port60 helps teams reduce the drag of ageing systems by turning modernisation into a sequence of practical, achievable steps.
- Legacy estate reviews
- Incremental migration plans
- Safer service decomposition
Selected clients
Trusted where uptime, regulation, and change all matter
Port60’s background spans public sector delivery, financial services, insurance, licensing, and customer-facing platforms. The common thread is work in complex environments where systems are live, change is risky, and credibility matters.

How Port60 works
Modernise live systems without destabilising delivery
Good consultancy work creates momentum. It reduces uncertainty, clarifies architecture, improves delivery confidence, and helps teams move forward without gambling on an all-at-once rewrite.
Led by Asrar Hussain, Port60 brings together hands-on engineering, platform thinking, and delivery judgement shaped across Java estates, cloud migration, secure platforms, payment and integration-heavy systems, and developer enablement work.
From the blog
Real engineering stories from complex modernisation work
The blog focuses on the decisions that made difficult change workable: what created the risk, what had to be modernised first, and how live systems were moved forward without losing control.
Atlas Orders | Upgrade the application without changing user behaviour
How the public-sector case study moved from Java 6 and Spring 2 towards Java 8, Spring 5, generated SOAP classes at build time, and a better security model while still behaving like the same WebLogic application.
Atlas Orders | Create a container path without breaking WebLogic
How the public-sector case study was prepared to run both in legacy WebLogic and in a newer Tomcat and Spring Boot shape, without forcing a risky cutover before the infrastructure was ready.
Start the conversation
Have a platform that is hard to change?
Whether you are planning a legacy modernisation, improving cloud delivery, untangling integrations, or need senior Java and platform guidance, Port60 is designed for exactly that kind of first conversation.
