10/27/25, 1:49 PM Red Hat Launches Developer Lightspeed for AI Productivity
Enhancing Code Refactoring in Migration Toolkit

For coding-intensive modernization, Red Hat Developer Lightspeed in the migration

toolkit for applications automates source code refactoring directly within developers'

IDEs. Unlike generic editors, it comprehends migration-specific challenges and

applies learned solutions from prior successes, improving accuracy over time. This

facilitates quicker refactoring of similar applications to cloud-native technologies,

yielding significant efficiency gains.

Automating Replatforming with MTA 8

Complementing Lightspeed's refactoring capabilities, the newly released migration

toolkit for applications 8 (MTA 8) automates replatforming to Red Hat OpenShift,

beginning with Cloud Foundry migrations. By generating deployment artifacts

automatically, MTA 8 minimizes manual, error-prone processes, enhancing ROI in

modernization initiatives and combining seamlessly with AI-driven code solutions for

end-to-end efficiency.

Product Leadership on AI Innovation

“We believe the future of AI isn't just about better models, but about putting intelligent

assistance directly into developers' hands where they work. Red Hat Developer

Lightspeed is designed to empower developers and organizations to build and

modernize applications faster, all while keeping up with important operational

standards. This is a significant step towards providing a secure foundation for truly

unprecedented scale and speed in software development,” said James Labocki,

senior director, Product Management, Red Hat.

Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for Red Hat Developer Hub is in developer preview

and included with subscriptions, while the MTA version is generally available for

Advanced Developer Suite customers, positioning Red Hat at the forefront of AI-

enhanced open hybrid cloud development.
