Build Resilient Systems with Spring Cloud Contract and Testcontainers

Explore how Spring Cloud Contract and Testcontainers can enhance testing and deployment processes for cloud-native applications in this 52-minute conference talk from Spring I/O 2023. Discover the implementation of Consumer-Driven Contracts through Spring Cloud Contract, which facilitates API description, verification, and backward compatibility checks. Learn about Testcontainers' ability to create programmatic test environments using real services in lightweight containers. Understand how contract and integration tests complement each other, and examine the decision to use Testcontainers for Kafka and AMQP messaging verification in Spring Cloud Contract. Gain insights into practical use-cases and code examples for setting up both types of tests in applications and deployment pipelines, ultimately improving the reliability and resilience of cloud-native systems.
