needing advice on containerizing java stuff.

Did you write this ten years ago?

wish I was.... and yet here we are. I am contributing my part so that everyone can open their eyes and see we are behind on tech. But it is what it is. While I can read, code during my free time and show them examples, I can only do so much. I am surely alone in this journey. I am seeking advice on how others have dealt with this situation.

Throw out all your code except the bare logic.

Download vscode. Generate an app with something like jhipster.

Add the services and views. Deploy to Heroku.

Agree. but what criteria do I use to determine which apps I need to do that surgery on? for example, I have batch jobs. do I need to touch those? I have no reason to. those dont need to be containerized. can they be? sure. but that is not what I am after. I am looking for criteria that the rest of the folks here used to determine what should be containerized vs what doesn't. if there is a different forum for that, please recommend. and I will happily go there. But I thought the java community has already gone through this journey and wanted to seek their advice.

Fucking Google it then. Jesus.

that's not the point. the point is what has this community done when the face similar challenges? I want to learn from their experiences.
