Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, announced Red Hat Developer Lightspeed, a new portfolio of generative AI (gen AI) solutions designed to speed up developer workflows with intelligent, context-aware assistance. These new virtual assistants integrate directly into Red Hat's developer tools to meet developers where they work, helping to increase productivity and reduce context switching. Red Hat Developer Lightspeed is included in Red Hat Developer Hub and is available in the migration toolkit for applications (MTA) via a Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite subscription.

As the business world moves toward more specialized, domain-specific AI assistants, the demand for raw generative power evolves to delivering trustworthy, reliable and contextually relevant assistance. Red Hat Developer Lightspeed addresses this need by providing purpose-built AI tools that are deeply integrated into the software development lifecycle. This helps developers bring new and modernized applications to market faster, while adhering to operational standards.

AI-powered assistance for key developer tasks

Red Hat Developer Lightspeed is now integrated into Red Hat's Red Hat Developer Hub and migration toolkit for applications. The offerings are designed to assist with both non-coding and coding tasks that support the application development lifecycle:

Lowering the barrier to replatforming applications

While Red Hat Developer Lightspeed provides intelligent assistance for the hands-on refactoring of applications, the newly released migration toolkit for applications 8 (MTA 8) helps address the rest of the application modernization journey. In this new release, MTA 8 delivers the ability to automate the replatforming of applications to Red Hat OpenShift, starting with the Cloud Foundry to Red Hat OpenShift migration path.

This automation helps reduce the manual, error-prone tasks that can make replatforming a time-consuming strategy. By automating the generation of deployment artifacts, MTA 8 further helps organizations improve the return on investment of their application modernization efforts. With the addition of Red Hat Developer Lightspeed, developers can now combine automated replatforming with intelligently generated code solutions for refactoring, creating a more comprehensive approach to modernization.
