Code Modernization Planning with GitHub
Part of the scenario: Migrate & Modernize Your Estate
Focused on the critical planning phase of code refactoring, this demo illustrates how teams can leverage GitHub to efficiently orchestrate the modernization of legacy applications. It walks through using GitHub's collaborative workspace and project management capabilities to systematically evaluate aging .NET and Java monoliths, set up robust roadmaps, and prepare the development environment for a cloud-native transformation. Runs in a live demo tenant with realistic data — you try the real thing, not a slide deck.
