Escaping microservice integration hell with specification-based contracts

Moving from monolith to microservice architecture enables fast, independent, and scalable deployments. It allows teams to push changes to production in minutes, instead of weeks or months. But what about the testing challenges? Are your “good old” end-to-end automation suites still reliable and efficient, or just slowing the team down? How do you scale the popular “shift-left” solutions across many teams with different stacks, approaches and maturity? This topic will walk you through a journey of trial and error in finding effective ways for testing microservices, and focus on alternative approaches for handling the often painful integration aspects of it.
