how to avoid common pitfalls with modern microservice testing
src: how to avoid common pitfalls with modern microservices testing - 2023-03-22
Abstract
Testing microservices is not easy. The traditional pyramid test is not enough. The speakers presented pact, a consumer-driven contract testing tool to mitigate the API changes. However, it’s not a silver bullet and we should leverage other tools to solve other issues, e.g. use openapi if the APIs is public and consumed by uncontrolled consumers.
Reviews
Why did I want to read/watch this? Testing microservices is always a difficult topic and I still not find the sweet spot that solve all the issue. And I do not think such thing even exists.
What did I get out of it? Nothing much, I already knew about pact before this presentation.
