10/27/25, 1:46 PM Red Hat Launches Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for AI-Powered Developer Productivity - Middle East News 247
Red Hat Developer Lightspeed is now integrated into Red Hat’s Red Hat Developer Hub and migration
toolkit for applications. The offerings are designed to assist with both non-coding and coding tasks that
support the application development lifecycle:

Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for Red Hat Developer Hub is an AI virtual assistant for
speeding up non-coding developer tasks to increase developer productivity. Through a chat-like

interface in the Red Hat Developer Hub console, it can help with exploring application design
approaches, drafting documentation, generating test plans and troubleshooting applications. This
allows developers to more quickly move from a blank page to an action plan or a solution, helping

to 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.
