Legacy applications rarely live in isolation. Many real-world systems combine technologies like Node.js and Java, and over time, outdated dependencies and runtimes become a major barrier to security, performance, and innovation. In this session, we'll take a typical enterprise Java app with a Node.js front end that hasn't been updated in years and modernize it end-to-end using GitHub Copilot App Modernization. We'll start by upgrading ill-maintained Node.js dependencies, addressing breaking changes and security issues along the way. Then we'll turn to the backend Java service, upgrading it from an older Java version to a modern, supported JDK, resolving compatibility issues and improving maintainability.
