Modernization is about delivering the best value to your customers, more quickly. This includes reducing the cost of maintaining your existing applications by updating or extending them. With Open Enterprise SDK for Go, IBM brings the benefits of the popular Go language to accelerate digital transformation on z/OS. Go’s lightweight characteristics enable application modernization and development of cloud native applications in addition to optimizing performance.

This session focuses on popular use cases for application modernization using Go on z/OS, such as interoperability with middleware and other languages through APIs. The session will also include a technical demo to illustrate these popular use cases.
