Modernize Databases for the Cloud

Migrating from Oracle DB to PostgreSQL isn't just a database swap — your Java app needs updated dependencies, configuration changes, and verified behavior. In this episode, watch how the GitHub Copilot app modernization extension handles a database migration end to end, from setting up the app and fixing bugs on the fly to executing the migration task in IntelliJ. In this episode, you'll learn: → How to migrate a Java application's database from Oracle DB to PostgreSQL using GitHub Copilot → How to use the app modernization extension in IntelliJ (installed via plugins or the ACPI registry) → How Copilot in agent mode analyzes your project, identifies dependencies, and sets up the environment → How the tool catches and fixes bugs during setup — like date format issues and README corrections → How to use the built-in database migration task to update dependencies, configurations, and function calls → How to manually verify app behavior before and after migration 📺 This is Episode 4 of the Modernize Java Apps with AI series — a 9-part, hands-on guide to upgrading legacy Java applications using GitHub Copilot. 🔗 Series playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlrxD0HtieHhaBJWlcxGd-kTDikSD4xyD 🔗 GitHub Copilot Modernization extension: https://aka.ms/GHCPMod-Java 🔗 Sample repo: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/java-migration-copilot-samples 👤 Presented by Sandra Ahlgrimm, Java & AI Advocate, Microsoft Java #GitHubCopilot #DatabaseMigration #OracleToPostgreSQL #PostgreSQL #JavaModernization #Azure #CloudMigration #AI #IntelliJ
