vs AWS Transform
A different cell
is not freedom.
AWS Transform is impressive engineering with one destination: AWS-hosted Java. If that’s where your business was always going, take it. If you want the destination to be your decision — that’s us.
Path one moves your logic
into a newer box.
The box has
one landlord.
Path two ends
the lease.
The real question
Who owns the destination?
Transform translates COBOL to Java that runs on AWS. The output is code in a managed runtime — readable by their tools, hosted on their cloud, priced on their meter. Your exit from the mainframe becomes your entrance into the next dependency.
Palm extracts the business rules themselves — deterministic, with line-level lineage — and forward-engineers them to the target you choose: open Python microservices on any cloud or on-prem, or straight into the ERP you already bought. The asset Palm produces is yours to point anywhere, forever.
The honest comparison isn’t speed or syntax. It’s this: who owns the destination?
