Legacy migrations are often slow, expensive, and difficult to predict. But what happens when AI becomes part of a structured engineering process instead of just another chatbot?

In this session, Michael shares a field-tested approach that helped reduce migration effort by up to 75% through:

๐Ÿค– AI context and token strategies

โš™๏ธ MCP and orchestration workflows

๐Ÿ“Š Systematic evaluation of AI runs

๐Ÿ”„ Reproducible migration processes

๐Ÿš€ Practical patterns for large-scale legacy modernization

If you're working with aging codebases and wondering how AI can become a reliable engineering tool, this talk is for you.
