Modernize Java applications quickly with GitLab Duo with Amazon Q

Upgrading Java applications has historically been a challenging task, often requiring extensive rewrites and diverting resources from new feature development. GitLab Duo with Amazon Q introduces AI-powered automation to simplify this process, enabling developers to upgrade applications from Java 8 to Java 17 quickly and efficiently. By creating an issue in GitLab and utilizing a simple command, the tool analyzes the existing codebase, identifies deprecated features, and generates a comprehensive upgrade plan with necessary code changes, including updates to source code files and build configuration files. This automation reduces upgrade time from weeks to minutes, minimizes the risk of human error, and ensures traceability and auditability through GitLab's version control system. In addition, the integration with GitLab's security features and AWS infrastructure ensures code and data protection during the modernization process, allowing development teams to focus more on innovation and less on technical debt management.
