Soirée Spring Cloud Contracts avec Marcin Grzejszczak et Olga Maciaszek-Sharma

Abstract

Consumer-driven contracts (CDC) are like TDD applied to the API. It’s especially important in the world of microservices. Since it’s driven by consumers, it’s much more user-friendly. Of course, microservices are really cool, but most people do not take into consideration plenty of potential obstacles that should be tackled. Then instead of frequent, fully automated deploys via a delivery pipeline, you might end up in an asylum due to frequent mental breakdowns caused by production disasters. We will write a system using the CDC approach together with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud Contract verifier. I’ll show you how easy it is to write applications that have a consumer-driven API and that will allow a developer to speed up the time of writing his better quality software. The presentation will consist of some theory but there’ll also be live coding and demos.
