Refactoring & Migrations with AI: Smarter Code Transformation at Scale

In this session, I’ll explore how AI-powered tooling is transforming large-scale refactoring and codebase migrations, making these complex tasks faster and more efficient. By leveraging tools like Large Language Models (LLMs), static analysis, and refactoring frameworks, we can automate repetitive code transformations, accelerate migration paths, and reduce human error. I’ll share practical examples of how we can migrate legacy systems to modern frameworks, break monolithic architectures into service-based structures, and automate large-scale code changes across thousands of files. I’ll demonstrate how tools like OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and fine-tuned models for domain-specific transformations can assist in these processes, while still integrating with traditional migration tools and CI/CD systems. I’ll also cover the importance of developer oversight, highlighting lessons learned from real-world production rollouts and how to balance automation with manual reviews.By the end of the talk, I want attendees to walk away with a clear understanding of how to use AI to enhance their refactoring and migration workflows, ensuring they can handle large-scale transformations while maintaining code quality, consistency, and governance.
