A cloud platform designed specifically for streaming desktop apps to the browser via a simple web URL.

For development teams holding the original source code who want true web-native execution without managing ongoing server streaming costs, WebAssembly provides an ideal middle ground. Technology Match-Ups Technology Match-Ups Add a key to the Windows Registry (e

: A tool that attempts to "re-package" some desktop apps into a format that can be viewed through a web server, though compatibility is limited.

Remote application publishing platforms run your executable on a Windows Server or multi-user Windows environment. When a user clicks a web link, their browser connects to this server through an HTML5 client that transmits screen updates, mouse clicks, and keyboard input in real time. The .exe itself continues running on the server—never on the user's device.

: Using Amazon Q Developer's AI-powered modernization capabilities, the team automated the conversion process. The AI agent identified Windows-specific dependencies, suggested required changes, and modified the code for ASP.NET Core deployment. The organization achieved the up to 4x speed improvement that other customers had realized with the tool.
