Contract-Driven Development - Escape Microservices Integration and Deployment Hell
Being able to develop, test and easily deploy a single microservice is a key indicator for a successful transition to a microservice style architecture. The challenge arises when determining how the new microservice will interact with your existing system meaning that they need to undergo comprehensive integration testing before deployment. This slows down the path to life and highlights problems at a much later point in the microservice lifecycle. Contract Driven Development helps you to shift left and identify compatibility issues earlier in the development life cycle when they are easier to catch and fix.
