In this clip, Joe Winchester, Senior Technical Staff Member of the Open Mainframe Project Zowe, talks about various use cases for Zowe besides in a banking environment. He highlights DevOps as a significant use case, emphasizing the importance of shifting left to enable developers to test and deploy code earlier in the development process. Despite challenges due to risk aversion, there’s a growing adoption of modern DevOps practices with Zowe. Winchester notes the shift from green screen COBOL development to modern IDEs like Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ, enhancing security and enabling new use cases. He also mentions AI prospects, including using language models (LLMs) for knowledge transfer and application understanding.
