As organisations embrace microservices architecture to achieve rapid, independent deployments, they often encounter obstacles that impede these benefits. A common challenge is an overreliance on traditional end-to-end testing strategies, which, while providing confidence, can slow deployment, create dependencies, and limit team autonomy.
Drawing from the transformative journey at Discover Financial Services, where we navigated the challenges of modernising systems into a microservices architecture, this presentation will delve into the hurdles encountered, the pivotal role of contract testing in overcoming these challenges, various contract testing strategies and open source tools, and our evolutionary path towards embracing contract testing. Join me to discover how this approach became the catalyst for removing bottlenecks in our CI/CD pipeline, unlocking the true potential of microservices for unparalleled agility and success
