Testing: do more with less
How can you be confident that your code is well-tested? For me, the criteria are straightforward: you feel comfortable deploying it automatically to production on a Friday evening, and the release pipeline stays as green as an evergreen tree. In this talk, I'll share some approaches that I am following to hit both targets for Node.js apps (APIs BFFs, etc)
