EVENT DETAILS:

PART ONE: What's New with WebSphere & Liberty
DURATION: 1 hour
Join us to see what's new for WebSphere! We will introduce the new IBM WebSphere Hybrid Edition that helps you to optimize your application investment and the new capabilities -- Mono2Micro, Transformation Advisor, Cloud Foundry Migration Run-time, Liberty -- included to help you modernize and cloud enable your WebSphere applications and operations. This WebSphere update session will be followed by an optional hands-on workshop on the new AI-infused Mono2Micro tool for refactoring monolithic applications into microservices.

PART TWO: Get hands-on with the new IBM® Mono2Micro™ tool, an AI-Powered Java Monolith to Microservices Transformer
DURATION: 2.5 hours
Of all the variants of application modernization, refactoring to microservices is the hardest, but when properly implemented, provides the maximum ROI.
Mono2Micro semi-automates the refactoring process using AI and can provide a huge acceleration to and significantly economize the task of moving Java monoliths to containers in the cloud.
In this hands-on workshop, you will refactor a small but typical Java EE application into deployable microservices via the following steps:
-- monolith code instrumentation
-- generation of run-time traces
-- generation of AI-recommended partitions
-- customization of partitions
-- code generation, and finally
-- the deployment of the partitions as executable microservices in Docker containers
