In this session, Sandra Ahlgrimm from Microsoft will discuss the practical aspects of modernizing Java applications using various tools and techniques for cloud migration. The presentation will explore different strategies, emphasizing the importance of evaluating the current system to determine the best modernization approach. Key topics will include the "7 Rs" framework—rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, rearchitecting, rebuilding, replacing, and retiring outdated systems. Due to time constraints, the session will focus on refactoring and rearchitecting. Attendees will learn that while there is no single magical tool for migration, a combination of tools and methods can significantly streamline the modernization process, traditionally a time-consuming endeavor. Tools range from traditional to AI-driven methods.
