Partner – Moderne – NPI EA (tag=Refactoring)

👁 announcement - icon

Modern Java teams move fast — but codebases don’t always keep up. Frameworks change, dependencies drift, and tech debt builds until it starts to drag on delivery. OpenRewrite was built to fix that: an open-source refactoring engine that automates repetitive code changes while keeping developer intent intact.

The monthly training series, led by the creators and maintainers of OpenRewrite at Moderne, walks through real-world migrations and modernization patterns. Whether you’re new to recipes or ready to write your own, you’ll learn practical ways to refactor safely and at scale.

If you’ve ever wished refactoring felt as natural — and as fast — as writing code, this is a good place to start.
