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
