Overview
Devin can help modernize legacy COBOL systems by migrating them to modern languages and architectures. Whether you’re moving to Java, Python, C#, or cloud-native microservices, Devin can analyze COBOL code, understand business logic, and create equivalent implementations in modern technologies while preserving critical functionality.Why Modernize COBOL?
Business Drivers
- Talent shortage: Fewer developers know COBOL, making maintenance difficult
- Integration challenges: Legacy systems struggle to integrate with modern APIs and services
- Cloud migration: Move to cloud platforms for better scalability and cost efficiency
- Agility: Modern languages enable faster feature development and deployment
Technical Benefits
- Improved maintainability: Modern code is easier to understand and modify
- Better tooling: Access to modern IDEs, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines
- Enhanced performance: Leverage modern runtime optimizations
- Security: Apply current security best practices and patch vulnerabilities
