Java modernization services in Berlin
GDPR-first, fully documented and hosted in the EU, with a senior team working your morning hours.
Clarigo Infotech upgrades and modernizes Java applications: Java 8 or 11 to Java 17 or 21, older Spring and Spring Boot versions to current releases, javax to jakarta namespaces, and heavy application servers to lightweight containers. Where it helps, we split monoliths into services. Every step is covered by automated tests, so the application keeps working while it is upgraded.
German companies most often hire us for enterprise software, manufacturing and Industry 4.0 solutions, and GDPR-compliant AI.

Privacy, quality and clear documentation
European teams tell us they want a partner who treats data protection and quality as the starting point, not an add-on. That is how we work.
GDPR by design
Data minimisation, consent, EU hosting and a signed data processing agreement before any personal data is touched.
Documentation you can audit
Written specifications, architecture notes, test reports and handover documents, so your team or auditors can follow every decision.
Accessible by default
Interfaces built to WCAG guidelines, helping you meet the European Accessibility Act for digital products and services.
Predictable contracts
Fixed scope and price, clear milestones and acceptance criteria, and full ownership of the code and IP.
What our Java modernization covers
Java version upgrades
Java 8 or 11 to Java 17 or 21 LTS, including library and build-tool updates.
Spring Boot upgrades
Spring Framework and Spring Boot 1.x and 2.x to current versions, including the javax to jakarta move.
App server to containers
WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss or Tomcat deployments moved to Docker, Kubernetes or managed cloud services.
Monolith to microservices
Carefully split large Java applications into services, only where it improves delivery or scale.
Build and CI/CD
Maven and Gradle cleanup, automated tests and pipelines that make every release safe.
Performance and security
Dependency and vulnerability fixes, JVM tuning and profiling for faster, safer applications.
How we approach Java modernization
Why move to Java 17 or 21
Newer long-term-support versions bring better performance, security updates and language features, and current Spring Boot versions require them. Staying on Java 8 means growing security and hiring risk.
Upgrade path, not a rewrite
We upgrade in stages (build tools, dependencies, language version, framework), testing at each stage, so you always have a working, releasable application.
How we work with Berlin clients
Time-zone overlap
Central European and Indian working days overlap by three and a half to four and a half hours, so your team is online for stand-ups and calls every morning your time.
The GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)
We design to the GDPR and BDSG: data minimisation, clear consent, access controls, encryption, data hosted in Germany or the EU, and a data processing agreement (AVV) signed before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in euros (EUR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for Berlin's key sectors
Berlin startups use us for SaaS MVPs, AI products and senior engineering capacity, built to the GDPR with data hosted in Germany or the EU.
Automotive
Carmakers and suppliers shift to software-defined vehicles. Custom software that fits how these teams already work.
Industrial manufacturing
Mittelstand firms adopt Industry 4.0 and predictive maintenance. From internal tools to customer platforms, built and supported by one team.
Mechanical engineering
Machine builders add IoT portals and digital services. We build the platforms, integrations and internal tools this sector relies on.
Chemicals and pharma
Process industries automate lab, quality and compliance workflows. Custom software that fits how these teams already work.

Data hosting
AWS Europe (Frankfurt), Google Cloud europe-west3 (Frankfurt) and europe-west10 (Berlin), in your own cloud account, so data stays where your rules require.
How it works
1. Free assessment
We review your code, dependencies, infrastructure and data, then give you a written migration plan, risks and a fixed quote.
2. Plan and safety net
We add automated tests and monitoring around what exists today, so every change can be checked against the old behaviour.
3. Migrate in small steps
Module by module, with both versions running side by side where needed. You see progress in a demo every week.
4. Cut over and support
A planned switch-over with a rollback path, then the same engineers stay on to fix, tune and keep it current.
