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.
