Java modernization services in Tokyo
Detailed specifications, careful testing and reliable schedules, with a team overlapping most of your afternoon.
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.
Japanese companies most often hire us for AI automation, enterprise systems and mobile apps.

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 Tokyo clients
Time-zone overlap
Japan is three and a half hours ahead of India, so our working days overlap for most of your afternoon, with a stand-up and same-day replies.
Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)
We design to the APPI: clear purpose of use, security controls, rules for third-party and cross-border transfers, and data hosted in Japanese cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in Japanese yen (JPY) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Industries we work with in Tokyo
Tokyo companies work with us on AI automation, enterprise systems and mobile apps, with detailed specifications, thorough testing and regular written reports.
Automotive
Carmakers invest in connected-car software and factory automation. We build the platforms, integrations and internal tools this sector relies on.
Electronics and robotics
Hardware makers need companion apps and embedded AI. Custom software that fits how these teams already work.
Gaming and anime
Entertainment firms reach global fans through apps and stores. From internal tools to customer platforms, built and supported by one team.
Retail and convenience
Chains run loyalty apps and cashless checkout. We build the platforms, integrations and internal tools this sector relies on.

Built for how Tokyo works
Local payments

Data hosting
AWS Asia Pacific (Tokyo, Osaka) and Google Cloud asia-northeast1 (Tokyo), 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.
