• Compare options using predefined evaluation criteria
• Select the most suitable technology for migration
• Demonstrate feasibility by migrating part of the current implementation
• Explore automation strategies for full migration, possibly leveraging AI
• Document findings and provide recommendations for next steps

This is a master (thesis) internship for a minimum of 6 months, minimum 5 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as soon as possible.
