AWS, Cognition partner to enhance enterprise software modernization with Devin
Summary
AWS and Cognition have announced a multi-year collaboration to enhance enterprise software modernization through their tool, Devin, which addresses the challenges of outdated code and security backlogs in large companies. Devin is designed to analyze legacy systems, generate replacement code, and facilitate migration processes within AWS environments. Notably, Mercedes-Benz utilized Devin to streamline the analysis of over 200,000 lines of COBOL, reducing an eight-month project to just eight days, while another automaker achieved a 73% cost reduction when migrating a 25,000-line COBOL workflow to AWS Lambda. This partnership reflects a broader trend among major cloud providers, which are increasingly incorporating AI coding agents into enterprise migration efforts to tackle modernization hurdles effectively.
