- Description
Our world runs on IT built in the 80s and 90s by engineers who are now retiring. This is becoming very worrying for corporates who have critical systems running on legacy code that only a handful of people still understand.
That's where GenAI arrives. With its almost magical transpilation abilities, it is the innovation that was needed to kickstart the legacy modernisations that had been postponed for too long.
Having worked on critical modernisations for more than 15 years, I jumped on the opportunity to experiment with how LLMs can accelerate complex migration projects. I will share some of our concrete experiences, cover both the good surprises and the limitations that we uncovered, and share our current playbook to best leverage AI when migrating a legacy system.
This will include how AI helps understand the existing tech system and the domain it is applied to, accelerates the rewrite and helps build the safety net before switching to the new system.
