Online Meeting: Modernizing the Mission Critical with OpenRewrite & AI
·OnlineOnlinePresented by Kito Mann
This meeting is online.
What’s wonderful about Java is that it's over 30 years old and still evolving—there’s a new release every six months! This means there are countless legacy systems that can be modernized to take advantage of new Java features and updated libraries. The primary driver for upgrading older systems is security—older versions of libraries often contain vulnerabilities. However, modernization can also bring additional benefits, such as improved performance, improved UI/UX, cloud readiness, and a better developer experience. In this talk, we’ll explore real-world projects that modernized a mission-critical application using OpenRewrite, combined with AI tools and deep expertise in Java/Jakarta EE, Spring, and the Java ecosystem. Join this session to gain insights that can help you modernize that aging back-office system in the corner—or the mission-critical app at the heart of your business.
