Collaborative Contract Driven Development

Billy Korando at All The Talks 2020 - Cloud native/container

With the transition to microservices and cloud platforms, comes an increased need to integrate with services that your team or organization might have limited or no control over. A common pain point experienced in this type of workflow is long wait times while client developers wait for service developers to build their service, and unreliable test suites as integration tests are run against live services which might have test data go missing, be down for maintenance, or slow to respond because they are under a heavy amount of traffic. There has to be a way we can develop services more quickly and have confidence they will work in production!


In this presentation we will learn about the goals and processes behind contract driven development and how they resolve a lot of pain points around developing in a microservices/cloud world.
