The average time to upgrade an application to Java 17 plummeted from what's typically 50 developer-days to just a few hours. We estimate this has saved us the equivalent of 4,500 developer-years of work (yes, that number is crazy but, real).
The benefits go beyond how much effort we've saved developers. The upgrades have enhanced security and reduced infrastructure costs, providing an estimated $260M in annualized efficiency gains.
One of the most tedious (but critical tasks) for software development teams is updating foundational software. This work is either dreaded or put off for more exciting work-or both.
While Amazon may be enjoying the increased productivity, developers might be concerned about its efficiency potentially reducing the need for human workers.
