Java modernization services in Dubai

A long-term partner working almost your exact hours, with Arabic and English built in from the first screen.

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.

UAE companies most often hire us for WhatsApp and voice AI, real estate and logistics platforms, and blockchain projects.

What matters to Dubai teams

Trust, partnership and Arabic-first products

Businesses across the Gulf value a partner they can rely on for years, available in their working hours and comfortable with Arabic, local data rules and national transformation goals.

01

Your hours, not ours

The Gulf is only one and a half to two and a half hours behind India, so calls, demos and fixes happen in your working day.

02

Arabic and English

Right-to-left layouts, Arabic content and bilingual AI assistants on WhatsApp, web and voice.

03

Local data rules

Hosting in the region and design that follows national personal data protection laws.

04

A partner for the long term

One in-house team that stays with you after launch, aligned with digital transformation programmes such as Saudi Vision 2030.

What we do

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.

In depth

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.

Data hosting

AWS Middle East (UAE) and Azure UAE North (Dubai), in your own cloud account, so data stays where your rules require.

Process

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.
