Modernize Java applications quickly with GitLab Duo with Amazon Q

This post introduces the integration of GitLab Duo with Amazon Q to automate the modernization of Java applications. It details a workflow where a user creates an issue describing the modernization goal, triggers the transformation with a `/q transform` command, and GitLab Duo with Amazon Q analyzes the codebase, identifies deprecated features, and generates a merge request with updated source code and build configurations (e.g., pom.xml). The process preserves application functionality and includes a review step.
