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

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.
