10/27/25, 1:47 PM Red Hat Launches Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for AI-Powered Developer Productivity | Web Release
AI-powered assistance for key developer tasks 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.

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.
