Episode 177

Show Notes

#177: Imagine this. What if you could magically turn your 20 year old Java and .NET applications into modern, containerized microservices applications without having to spend years doing it? Also, what if you could do this with the help of AI? Seems too good to be true?

In this episode, we speak with Bob Quillin, Chief Ecosystem Officer at vFunction, about the classical and painful ways we’ve tried to do application modernization in the past and how AI is helping to reduce a lot of those pain points in 2022.
