Maximizing OpenRewrite Usage for Codebase Events and API Migrations

The chapter delves into utilizing OpenRewrite for various scenarios like introducing CI quality gates, handling code base events at scale, patching security vulnerabilities, and facilitating API migrations. It emphasizes the importance of not solely relying on CI/CD for every code base event and showcases how OpenRewrite simplifies complex transitions, such as moving from Java 8 to Java 17 before upgrading to Spring Boot 3. The speakers highlight the tool's automated refactoring capabilities, its contribution to dealing with evolving frameworks like Spring Boot, and the benefit of Apache licensing for framework authors in providing solutions for breaking changes.
