The short answer

Ace8 is the application modernization practice of AceMQ. AceMQ was founded in 2016 as a team of senior engineers. Ace8 gives its modernization work a home: AI-assisted tools do the bulk rewrites, senior engineers verify every change, and AceMQ supports the new stack after go-live.

Who is behind Ace8

AceMQ's engineering team

Ace8 is not a separate company with a separate bench. It is the practice through which the AceMQ engineering team modernizes legacy Java: app-server exits, Java and Spring upgrades, messaging replacements and data moves.

Contracts for the work run through AceMQ. Every project follows the same method and has a named senior engineer accountable for each change.

Our story

A decade of moving enterprises off legacy. Now it has a name.

The AceMQ engineers have spent ten years replacing platforms that enterprises had outgrown. Ace8 is where that work now lives: one practice, one job, with AceMQ behind every go-live.

    Ace8: the modernization practice

    The modernization work gets its own home. AI-assisted, engineer-verified, supported by AceMQ.

The AceMQ relationship

Ace8 modernizes. AceMQ runs.

AceMQ was founded in 2016 and specializes in the platforms enterprises run their business on. After go-live, AceMQ supports the new stack 24/7: Tomcat, Java, Spring, RabbitMQ and Kafka.

That is why Ace8 plans the run before the cutover. The people who will support your system are in the project from the start. See supported after migration.
