About this talk
This talk delves into the transformative impact of Agentic AI on software modernization, highlighting how the transition from traditional coding to orchestrating AI agents can optimize legacy systems. The speaker uses the metaphor of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves to illustrate the process of deploying multi-agent systems that enable efficient architecture mapping, test generation, and migration of outdated monoliths to modern micro-services. Abdel shares a compelling case study of a team that successfully modernized a Ruby on Rails application within five days, utilizing AI agents to enhance research, coding, and testing. Key points include designing multi-agent architectures for various tasks and addressing the challenges of dependencies in the application lifecycle.
