While Java EE 8 isn't ready for retirement just yet, the mounting technical debt and the siren call of modern cloud-native solutions are beckoning developers towards greener pastures.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll be on a journey to modernize Java applications, providing practical, step-by-step instructions that'll make your code feel young again. You'll learn the art of seamlessly upgrading from Java EE 8 to Java 21 and Jakarta EE using Generative AI - it's like giving your app an energy drink!

We'll then venture into replatforming with containerization using application servers, like WildFly, and Kubernetes.

The grand finale? An introduction to refactoring strategies with Quarkus - to teach your old Java app some impressive new cloud-native tricks.
