From Cobol to Node with DevOps

Explore a conference talk from the Reliable Web Summit 2021 that bridges the gap between COBOL and modern web development using Node.js and DevOps practices. Discover how COBOL, a 62-year-old programming language still widely used in critical systems, can be integrated with Node.js to create a modern stack without rewriting extensive legacy code. Learn about the challenges of maintaining older systems while adding new features for contemporary devices, and understand the holistic DevOps approach required to maintain coherence across the entire technological landscape. Gain insights from a real-world experiment conducted for a client seeking to modernize their systems while preserving existing COBOL infrastructure.
