Deploy Microservices with Certainty

Explore the challenges of deploying microservices and learn how to ensure compatibility between services using consumer-driven contracts in this 32-minute Devoxx conference talk. Discover why breaking compatibility in microservices architecture is easy and hard to detect, and how it differs from monolithic applications. Gain insights into the consumer-driven contracts pattern and its implementation using tools like Spring Cloud and Pact. Follow along with practical examples, including a simple demonstration of how changes can break production environments. Understand the responsibilities in contract testing and learn to use Web Client and Nettie Server for effective microservices deployment. Presented by Alex Soto, a Red Hat software engineer and open-source advocate, this talk provides valuable knowledge for Java developers working with microservices architectures.
