AWS has introduced Kiro, an AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE) designed to streamline the migration of PHP applications to Java. Kiro utilizes an AI agent to assist developers in multi-step engineering tasks, treating the original PHP codebase as a specification and verifying the Java port's correctness through a parity harness. The system offers two modes of operation: an interactive, developer-in-the-loop approach using Kiro, and a large-scale, agentic approach via AWS Transform, which integrates with Kiro for portfolio-wide migrations.
