Sometimes, unit tests with mocked services just aren't enough. We'd like to be able to run repeatable tests against the real thing without fear of corrupting data or affecting others.
With Testcontainers, there is no need for mocks or complicated environment configurations. We can define our target environment in code and then run our tests against ephemeral containers. Java developers have had this ability for several years, but now Go developers have this similar ability!
Enjoy the discussion and demonstration of this open-source project created by the folks at AtomicJar, recently acquired by Docker.
Paul is a CNCF Ambassador, GoBridge Ambassador, and a Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs. In this role, he encourages developers and testers alike to "shift left," bringing reliability testing earlier in the software development process.
The basic agenda follows:
- 5:30 - 6:00 Food and networking (Go excels at networking)
- 6:00 - 6:10 Announcements, intros, and so forth
- 6:15 - 7:00 Main presentation of the month
- 7:00 - 7:30 Q&A
- 7:30 - 8:00 Hang out and network
Please join us for this in-person event! Please be sure to RSVP so that we can plan the food appropriately. We greatly appreciate your help as we try to ensure the safety and comfort of those attending.
