Overall Satisfaction with IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio
It was used in upgrading the version of Java from 11 to 21 in few of the Spring boot applications and custom libraries that were written for internal applications. It doesn't solve business problems exactly as such, it was mostly used for resolving tech debts and improvising existing applications. Since majority of the codebase is having similar tech stack, it has consistent results
Pros
- Java version update
- Spring boot applications modernization
- refactoring some old constructs in code
Cons
- Better Kotlin support
- Better performance on large codebases like monolith
- Custom library understanding
- Easier modernization
- Time saving
- Less cost of implementation
Faster clearance of tech debts and unit test coverage with lower cost
