Modernise Java Applications Quickly with GitLab Duo and Amazon Q

Accelerate Java App Modernisation with GitLab Duo and Amazon Q

Modernising legacy Java applications is often a complex and time-consuming task, especially for development teams facing tight deadlines and limited resources. GitLab Duo, in collaboration with Amazon Q, now streamlines this process by introducing enhanced AI-driven capabilities to help software teams update and refactor outdated Java applications with greater speed and precision.

Amazon Q is a generative AI-powered assistant that enables developers to better understand legacy code, identify dependencies, and receive real-time suggestions. When paired with GitLab Duo’s end-to-end DevSecOps platform, this solution dramatically reduces the friction associated with application modernisation. Development teams can now analyse, plan, and implement changes directly within the GitLab environment, ensuring security and compliance are upheld throughout the software development lifecycle.

Using GitLab Duo’s intelligent code generation, issue resolution, and collaborative tools, along with Amazon Q’s insights on legacy architectures, teams can efficiently transform outdated systems into cloud-native applications. This integrated approach eliminates costly context-switching and redundant tools, offering a unified workflow from code to production.

Through this powerful integration, engineering teams not only boost productivity but also increase confidence in managing technical debt. Full visibility and traceability in GitLab ensure that every modernisation initiative is aligned with business goals and measurable outcomes.
