New microservices often start from reference templates of other microservices. But when those copies drift apart, your landscape grows wild and becomes difficult to maintain. Code changes that are not well thought out can lead to hard-to-find bugs and inconsistencies. Then, when new versions or vulnerabilities come out, applying necessary changes becomes difficult and time-consuming. How do you now whip your landscape back into shape?

We’ll explore automation to help your services quickly conform to higher standards again. We’ll apply and update build tool wrappers, modernize your test suites, clear out unused feature flags, upgrade Java versions and frameworks, standardize pipelines, and adopt new libraries and language features. For this, we’ll look at OpenRewrite and the Moderne Platform and CLI, for reliable automated code changes.

Come learn how to phase out old patterns, bugs and failed experiments with speed and horizontal scale. Gain insight into where you stand today, and focus on where you want to go tomorrow.
