Using AI agents for Java legacy migrations at banks and insurers
Fit_Satisfaction541 · reddit · 2026-11-03
An insurance-industry developer asks whether AI agents can handle large legacy migrations: their policy admin system is stuck on Java 8 and an outdated Spring version, with no internal appetite and ugly contractor quotes.
- The real worry isn't code quality, but bank-grade change management meeting an agent that touches 400 files at once
- The closest pitch so far: Orq AI's software factory—scope one migration workflow, connect repo and CI, define where agents act alone vs. where humans sign off, then widen autonomy after proof
- Their guess: the code compiles, but the pain is hundreds of tiny untested behavior changes
