From Cobol to Node with DevOps

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

COBOL remains mission‑critical but suffers a developer shortage, so a customer experiment builds a node.js-COBOL bridge that exposes legacy functions as microservices; it runs COBOL in containers using Docker on mainframes and is orchestrated with Kubernetes. The team demonstrates a working proof‑of‑concept that avoids a full rewrite, cites a surprising claim of more than 200 times more code transactions than google searches worldwide, and shows Node services successfully extending COBOL functionality.
