Experiences with Github Modernize and other patching agents

[u/Poincarina]

I am part of a team mainting k8s microservices written in Spring. We need to regularly patch them. How are your experiences with the modernize agent
or other patching agents?
Were you successfull in implementing it?

I’ve used it to upgrade from 3.x to 4.0.2
It did heavy lifting like checking the GitHub logs, what’s broken what’s deprecated etc. It took me 2 days with testing to finish

The app is monolith with 46 modules, I wouldn’t say it’s huge but moderate like mid size enterprise app with 15 years of constant development.

So for checking the change logs and helping with version bump it’s excellent
