#301: How many applications are in your organization that need to be kept up to date? More than likely, that number is every application needs to be kept up to date, if for no other reason than to keep your security teams happy. It gets even worse if you have 10s, 100s or even 1000s of applications. How do you make this manageable?
In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Schneider from Moderne to discuss OpenRewrite, a large-scale software refactoring solution. Jonathan explains how OpenRewrite assists in application modernization, security vulnerability repair, and code quality improvements.
