10/27/25, 1:45 PM Red Hat Launches Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for AI-Powered Developer Productivity
increase developer productivity and deliver business value faster. The assistant
supports a "bring your own model" approach, allowing teams to use their
preferred public or self-hosted LLM to better balance their performance, cost and
data privacy needs.

• Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for migration toolkit for applications is an

extension that intelligently automates source code refactoring within a developer’s
integrated development environment (IDE). Unlike traditional code editors, this
assistant understands migration issues and how to solve them. Also unique to this
assistant is that it learns what changes have been successful with each migrated
application, providing more accurate code solutions over time and helping
enterprises to more quickly refactor similar applications. This results in faster

application refactoring and increased savings when modernizing applications to
cloud-native technologies.
Lowering the barrier to replatforming applications
While Red Hat Developer Lightspeed provides intelligent assistance for the
hands-on refactoring of applications, the newly released migration toolkit for
applications 8 (MTA 8) helps address the rest of the application modernization
journey. In this new release, MTA 8 delivers the ability to automate the

replatforming of applications to Red Hat OpenShift, starting with the Cloud
Foundry to Red Hat OpenShift migration path.
This automation helps reduce the manual, error-prone tasks that can make
replatforming a time-consuming strategy. By automating the generation of
deployment artifacts, MTA 8 further helps organizations improve the return on

investment of their application modernization efforts. With the addition of Red Hat
Developer Lightspeed, developers can now combine automated replatforming
with intelligently generated code solutions for refactoring, creating a more
comprehensive approach to modernization.
Availability
Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for Red Hat Developer Hub is in developer
preview and included with a Red Hat Developer Hub or Advanced Developer
Suite subscription. Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for migration toolkit for

applications is now generally available for Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite
customers.
