Recent events have forced organizations to reevaluate how they build, deploy, and host their applications. They need the ability to scale, to manage and maintain applications remotely, and to quickly build and deploy new solutions. These requirements have revealed a dependence on legacy frameworks, systems, and languages like COBOL that fail to meet the criteria. This problem is prevalent in key industries including banking, health care, and state and federal government. 

In this five-episode mini-series, our hosts, Justin Stanley and Jesse Williams, are joined by AWS experts, James Gosling, Rob Sutter, Richard Boyd, and many more as we look at how to migrate and modernize a mainframe application.

Our hosts will guide you through a COBOL to Java migration, exploring the tools, projects, and communities that make the JVM ecosystem so robust. Once your application is migrated, we will show you how to optimize your Java application to run in a serverless environment.
