Continuous Integration Testing: Fully test your microservices application, early and often

The DevOps principle of “Shifting Left” promotes testing early in the development cycle, for improved software quality and system health. At the same time, the rise of containerized microservice applications brings a new challenge: services are developed in isolation. It’s common practice that each service is frequently, thoroughly tested—individually. But they don’t get validated together until deploy time (if at all!). In this session, we’ll explore techniques for running high-fidelity integration tests across multiple services, as part of a Continuous Integration workflow. You will learn how to provision, test, and tear down self-contained Kubernetes environments that replicate complete production systems. This allows you to run full-system tests as part of every build, safely and cost effectively.

Prior to Google, he was the CTO of OvationTix/TheaterMania, a tech startup in the performing arts industry, where he specialized in feeding memory to Java servers. He chose on purpose to live in New Jersey, where he enjoys cooking, indie rock, and fatherhood.

API Managemnet with Service Mesh

In a world of disaggregated API-based architectures, developers are increasingly adopting microservices — and Service Mesh is being used to control many service-to-service communications. But Service Mesh is not addressing the concern of how the exploding number of APIs can be exposed in a controlled and secure manner to their API consumers.

In this meetup, we will discuss how to augment service mesh functionality with API management capabilities, so you can create an end-to-end solution for your entire business functionality — from microservices to APIs, to end-user applications.
