The series walks through assessment of legacy codebases (e.g., Java 1.5 Struts monoliths), automated framework upgrades (Java 8 to 21/25, Spring Boot upgrades), database migration from Oracle to PostgreSQL, customizing modernization tasks with developer-controlled constraints, containerization with Docker, deployment to Azure Container Apps, and scaling the workflow via CLI and parallel cloud coding agents. Real demos show the process reducing weeks of manual work to hours, with CVE scanning, test validation, and human-in-the-loop review throughout. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
