AWS blog shows how to build a PHP-to-Java migration engine with Kiro
What happened
On 30 October 2026, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published a post on building a repeatable PHP-to-Java migration engine with Kiro. According to the report, the engine treats the original PHP application as a specification, driving the migration through a shared methodology, mechanical discovery scanners and an eight-stage workflow, and only judges the Java port correct after a parity harness verifies matching behaviour. The same skill files can be run interactively per application in Kiro, or handed to AWS Transform to process multiple applications in parallel in an agentic way. The report is currently the only source on this event, with no follow-up or independent information from other quarters.

Turn a PHP-to-Java migration from a one-time leap of faith into a measurable, repeatable process with Kiro. This post walks through a reusable engine: a mechanical discovery scanner and an eight-phase, parity-first workflow that treats the original PHP application as the specification and verifies the Java port with a parity harness.
