Modernise on the mainframe
Adopt the platform alongside your existing mainframe — modern editor, metadata server, automated testing — without changing where the workloads run.
Pace
Immediate
One platform, many languages, one runtime.
The Cobra Modernisation Platform is integrated, not a toolkit. The same metadata that powers code navigation also drives specification capture, test generation, and schema synthesis. Components compose; nothing has to be glued together.
Cobra Runtime
A real COBOL runtime, integrated with .NET and ready to run alongside modern services.
Read more Dictionary Server
Authoritative metadata across multiple mainframe languages — the base layer the AI reasons from.
Read more AI Specification Capture
A patent-pending approach to extracting business rules from runtime behaviour.
Read more Testing Framework
Generated tests run against the real runtime under modern test infrastructure.
Read more Code Generation
Schemas and adapters generated from your COBOL definitions, across the major database platforms.
Read more Language Coverage
Multiple mainframe languages — COBOL, PL/I, JCL, CICS, IMS, MQ — surfaced by one platform.
Read more Containerised Deployment
Container-first. Run on Linux, in the cloud, or alongside your mainframe during transition.
Read more Architecture
A single canonical view of how the platform composes, end to end.
Read more Migration pathways
Three ways to deploy. Pick the pace that suits your organisation.
Hybrid: mainframe and containers
Move selected workloads into containers while the rest stays where it is. The platform supports both modes from the same toolchain.
Pace
Phased
Full migration off the mainframe
Containerised COBOL on cloud infrastructure, with managed databases, modern CI/CD, and the same business logic intact.
Pace
Multi-stage
See it on your code
A live walkthrough, against your programs.
Bring a piece of your codebase. We will demonstrate how the platform sees it, how the AI reasons about it, and what an incremental modernisation path would look like for you.
