Cognition and AWS Collaborate to Accelerate Software Modernization with Devin

Cognition's software tool Devin has reduced Mercedes-Benz's modernization project timeline from 8 months to just 8 days. This collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) is part of a multi-year strategic agreement aimed at helping companies modernize legacy systems efficiently. Devin has enabled Mercedes-Benz to analyze 200,000 lines of COBOL and migrate 25,000 lines of code to AWS Lambda, resulting in a 73% cost reduction for the automaker.

Echo Global Logistics, another joint customer, reports that Devin has become integral to their engineering processes, providing DeepWiki-powered code insights and addressing gaps in legacy systems. Christina Garcia, SVP of Engineering at Echo, emphasized the tool's impact on their workflow. Anasuya Strasner, Director of North America ISVs at AWS, noted that customers are eager to modernize quickly and leverage AI in production, with Devin on AWS providing a reliable solution.

Art Levy, VP of Global Partnerships at Cognition, stated that Devin represents a shift away from the constraints of legacy systems that have historically hindered engineers. This partnership aligns with previous coverage of AI-driven modernization efforts in the industry, reflecting a growing trend towards agile software development.
