Zero Migration Java: Stay Current Without Breaking Your App

Keeping enterprise Java applications secure and up-to-date is critical but traditional runtime upgrades often come with painful migrations, broken dependencies, and retesting cycles. What if you could upgrade your runtime without touching your code?​ In this session, we’ll explore the concept of zero migration — a runtime model that allows Java applications to stay current with the latest patches and features without requiring code or configuration changes. You’ll learn how this approach works in practice, why it’s a game-changer for regulated and mission-critical workloads, and how it fits into modern CI/CD and GitOps workflows. We’ll walk through real-world examples using modern runtimes like Liberty, and show how zero migration helps teams move faster, stay secure, and reduce technical debt.
