# Konveyor Project Roadmap
* Konveyor is a CNCF project focused on accelerating application modernization to cloud native technologies in a safe and predictable manner at scale
* Related documents for more background on Konveyor:
* [Konveyor Project Charter](https://github.com/konveyor/community/blob/main/Charter.md)
* Vision for Konveyor's [Unified Experience](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/tree/master/enhancements/unified_experience)
* [Konveyor Application Modernization and Migration Guide](https://github.com/konveyor/methodology)
* Where to file new RFEs? -> https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/issues/new
* Read our [enhancements](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements) to learn more about design choices and how features are being implemented

## Near-term: 2023 Q3-Q4

* Theme: Establish [Steps 1->3 of Unified Experience: 'Surface Information -> Make Decisions -> Plan Work'](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/tree/master/enhancements/unified_experience#step-1-surface-information)
* **Multi-language analysis support**
* A new analysis engine, [analyzer-lsp](https://github.com/konveyor/analyzer-lsp), is being developed to leverage the [Language Server Protocol](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) to make additional languages easier to integrate.
* enhancement: [Konveyor Analysis: Multi-language analyzer leveraging Language Server Protocol (LSP)](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/tree/master/enhancements/tackle/tackle-lsp-query-engine)
* Intent is to replace [Windup](https://github.com/windup/windup) for Java source code analysis with [analyzer-lsp](https://github.com/konveyor/analyzer-lsp)
* Add ability for Golang source code analysis via analyzer-lsp

* **Allow dynamic reporting of analysis data** and aggregation across the application portfolio (enhancement: [Dynamic reports enhancement](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/pull/111))
* Establish ability for machine readable output from analyzer-lsp to aid the Hub to aggregate analysis information across the application portfolio (enhancement: [Analyzers Report Format](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/tree/master/enhancements/tackle/analyzers-report-format)

* **New Assessment module** to allow greater customization of questionaries and usage (enhancement: [New assessment module enhancement](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/pull/136)
* Introduction of '[Archetypes](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/pull/136/files#diff-2d249d6ed5064c180ca1a72da0658dc4322786d504739df84e55754ce83d6c86R199)'
* Intent is to replace Pathfinder with this new module to allow more flexibility

* Theme: Project health
* Establish e2e test strategy
* Establish test framework for [rulesets](https://github.com/konveyor/rulesets)
* Continue creating a library of [examples-applications](https://github.com/konveyor/example-applications/tree/main)
* Establish [Migration Experience User Group](https://github.com/konveyor/community/tree/main/ug-migration-experience) to facilitate sharing of use-cases and rules throughout community.

## Mid term: 2024 Q1-Q2
* Theme: Expand multi-language static code analysis capabilities
* Establish C# analysis for dotnet ([analyzer-dotnet-provider](https://github.com/konveyor/analyzer-dotnet-provider)), emphasis on usecase of .Net Framework -> .Net migrations
* enhancement: [dotnet-provider](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/pull/128)

* Theme: Begin to explore improvements to [Step 4 of Unified Experience: 'Do Work'](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/tree/master/enhancements/unified_experience#step-4-do-work)
* Evaluate if we need to orchestrate execution of multiple components in a Pipeline like approach
* Possible exploration of Tekton for improving orchestration of components

* Generate migration assets to aid a Migrator modernizing an application
* Considering examples such as
* Guide containerization of a traditional application
* Guide containerization of a Wildfly application to leverage application analysis information to recommend Galleon layers to enable in the image
* Generate Kubernetes resource manifests so the application may be deployed
* Generate resources to enable a GitOps workflow such as ArgoCD
* etc.. more to explore

* Theme: Continue on expanding [Rulesets](https://github.com/konveyor/rulesets)
* Considering examples related to:
* .Net Framework -> .Net
* Wildfly
* Tomcat
* Quarkus
* Netflix OSS -> Kubernetes
* Service Mesh adoption
* Serverless
* and other areas identified from the [Migration Experience User Group](https://github.com/konveyor/community/tree/main/ug-migration-experience)
* Theme: Project Health
* Improve Konveyor user documentation and revisit integrating https://konveyor.github.io/ into https://konveyor.io

## Long term: 2024 Q2+

* Theme: Expand multi-language capabilities
* Add in capability to analyze Javascript, Typescript, Python, Ruby, Rust, etc
* Continue to extend capabilities in all providers (richer queries, detect more complicated use-cases)

* Theme: Experience improvements
* Improve the experience of application import
* [Repository crawler for application import](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/issues/122)
* [Detect language & frameworks being used in repositories on import](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/issues/131)

* Improve the experience of executing 'AddOns'
* [Enable the UI to run arbitrary AddOns](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/issues/99)

* Theme: Continue to explore new use-cases in [Konveyor Ecosystem](https://github.com/konveyor-ecosystem)
* Explore solutions to aid in monolith to microservice
* Improve resource generation
* Explore k8s workload introspection to inform possible issues between versions of Kubernetes
* Expand refactoring scenarios, i.e. explore patterns of leveraging knowledge from static code analysis to aid in automated refactoring to address identified issues (i.e. analyzer-lsp report -> openrewrite recipes to 'fix' code)
* Research if/how AI may be applied to modernization (experiments under https://github.com/konveyor-ecosystem/MLAssist)

* Theme: Integration with other services
* [Janus (backstage.io) Integration #134](https://github.com/konveyor/enhancements/issues/134)
