The short answer
Ace8 services cover the platforms that modern Java and cloud applications run on: message brokers, Tomcat, Nginx, GemFire, Greenplum, AWS, DevSecOps, observability and incident management. Ace8 is the modernization practice of AceMQ, so the team that helps you move to these platforms can also run and support them around the clock.

Platforms
Run-time platforms and data
These are the products your applications depend on once they are modernized. Each page covers what we do, where problems usually come from and how support works.
- Message brokers: RabbitMQ, Kafka and Redis. Assessments, troubleshooting, support and training.
- Apache Tomcat: tuning, hardening, upgrades and 24/7 support for Java web applications.
- Nginx: load balancing, reverse proxy, TLS and Kubernetes ingress.
- GemFire: configuration audits, architecture review, DR and load testing.
- Greenplum: MPP performance tuning, architecture and in-database machine learning.
- Open source support: enterprise support for open-source infrastructure.
Delivery
Cloud, delivery and reliability
These cover how software is built, shipped, watched and recovered.
- AWS consulting: cost, security, disaster recovery, serverless and Bedrock.
- DevSecOps: infrastructure as code, test automation and security scanning in the pipeline.
- Automated testing: crowd-sourced test cases, AI-assisted test code and CI/CD execution.
- Microservices and AWS Lambda: design, refactoring and ECS to Lambda migration.
- Data analytics integration: e-commerce data into Databricks or Snowflake.
- Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog and Kibana.
- Incident management: documentation, chaos experiments and 24/7 response.
- Onboarding as a Service: dev containers that get new engineers productive in hours.
Modernization
How these services fit with modernization
Most modernization projects end on one of these platforms. A WebLogic exit usually lands on Tomcat. An IBM MQ replacement usually lands on RabbitMQ. A move to microservices needs observability and incident response before cutover, not after.
That is why Ace8 sits inside AceMQ. We plan the migration, run the new stack and write the run plan before go-live. Start with a modernization assessment, read the method, or see what AceMQ supports after migration.
How every engagement runs
AI drafts. Engineers decide.
Three phases, the same on every stack. Each one ends with something you can hold us to.
AI-assisted, engineer-verified, one capability at a time.

On call: the team that ran the migration
- Test before you touch
- AI drafts, engineers decide
- Strangle, don’t big-bang
- Every step is reversible
- Measure before and after
- Open targets, no new lock-in
- Fixed scope before fixed price
- Plan the run before the cutover
Where to start
Pick the one that matches what is breaking today
| Symptom | Start here |
|---|---|
| Queues backing up, failovers, broker upgrades | Message brokers |
| Java app slow or out of memory under load | Tomcat |
| 502 and timeouts at peak traffic | Nginx |
| AWS bill too high or security findings | AWS |
| Outages with no clear cause | Observability |
| The same incidents keep recurring | Incident management |

Ace8 is the modernization practice of AceMQ. AceMQ runs and supports the platforms 24/7, and Ace8 plans and delivers the move to them.
No. Most of these services stand alone: a Tomcat tuning review, a broker assessment or an observability rollout. They also fit inside a larger application modernization program.
Yes. AceMQ provides 24/7 support for the stack after go-live, with a run plan agreed before cutover.
