TAGUIG CITY, Philippines – Huawei Cloud has announced a comprehensive strategy to accelerate the modernization of traditional applications in the Philippines, leveraging its AI-native cloud services to drive digital transformation across various industries.
At the Huawei Cloud Philippines Application Modernization Forum held on August 19, 2025, Kevin Huang, Deputy Director of Huawei Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS), emphasized the critical role of intelligent applications in future market competition. He introduced Huawei Cloud’s dual approach—’AI for PaaS’ and ‘PaaS for AI’—aimed at enhancing productivity in development, runtime, operations and maintenance (O&M), and integration processes.
To address the growing demand for intelligent applications, Huawei Cloud offers CodeArts, a one-stop software development platform that integrates over 28 tools into a unified environment. This platform has demonstrated a tenfold increase in software research and development efficiency for Philippine internet enterprises. Notably, in collaboration with the Postal Savings Bank of China, CodeArts’ AI assistant generated 40% of the code, tripling the speed of feature delivery.
In response to the Philippines’ challenges with peak traffic, Huawei Cloud’s Application Platform facilitates a seamless transition from centralized to distributed architectures. This platform provides a resilient and scalable runtime environment, featuring autonomous application management driven by AI agents. For instance, during the T20 World Cup, Starzplay, a media company in the Middle East, managed a tenfold increase in traffic over a month-long period using this platform.
To enhance operations and maintenance, Huawei Cloud offers a full-stack observability platform that delivers clear visibility and utilizes AI algorithms to identify issues across a four-tier monitoring system and 12 technology layers. A leading Chinese financial and insurance company leveraged this platform to build a highly reliable and stable infrastructure.
Addressing data integration challenges, Huawei Cloud’s ROMA Connect breaks down data silos by seamlessly connecting data, systems, and services, improving integration efficiency tenfold. This solution was recognized as a “Visionary” in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Application Development and Integration, marking it as the only solution from the Asia-Pacific region to receive this distinction.
Huawei Cloud’s ongoing investment in the Philippine market underscores its commitment to partnering with local companies to promote industry upgrades. Through its dual strategy and full-stack modernization approach, Huawei Cloud aims to empower Philippine enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation and usher in a new era of high-quality, efficient application modernization.
