This post shows how to turn PHP-to-Java migration from a one-time leap of faith into a measurable, repeatable process using Kiro .
What happened
AWS authors show how to build a repeatable PHP-to-Java migration workflow with Kiro using shared skill files, a discovery scanner, and a parity harness to compare application behavior. The same methodology can run interactively in Kiro or across applications through AWS Transform. The walkthrough migrates 4 of 37 models to Spring Boot 3.4.1 on Java 21, but explicitly acknowledges that its sample lacks the parity harness.

AWS authors demonstrated a reusable PHP-to-Java migration workflow using Kiro, migrating 4 of 37 models in a walkthrough to Spring Boot 3.4.1 on Java 21; the sample lacks the parity harness intended to compare application behavior. The workflow uses shared skill files, a discovery scanner and a parity harness to make migrations repeatable and check whether the Java application behaves like its PHP counterpart. The authors said the same methodology can run interactively in Kiro or across applications through AWS Transform.
