Case Study: Swiss Re accelerates Java app modernization with Microsoft Azure

Swiss Re accelerates Java app modernization using Azure Spring Cloud

Swiss Re, one of the world’s largest reinsurers, needed to modernize business-critical Java and Spring Boot financial applications while meeting strict security, compliance, and regulatory requirements. To speed deployments and reduce friction for developers, Swiss Re turned to Microsoft Azure, specifically Azure Spring Apps, as part of its cloud transformation.

Microsoft Azure implemented a managed, secure PaaS approach that let Swiss Re migrate and build apps with automated scaling, monitoring, identity, and database integration. The result was faster development and deployment, less operational overhead, and reliable self-service access for users; Swiss Re also passed performance and penetration tests, avoided needing Kubernetes expertise, and improved efficiency across its finance IT teams.
