Building Reliable Microservices: Simplifying Functional Integration Testing with Ease

Streamline functional integration testing for Kotlin microservices with our Acceptance Test Library! Test complete request-response flows with minimal mocks, real databases, and Kafka/Redis/ElasticSearch. Declarative setup, auto gRPC/REST/Kafka support—ensuring reliable, client-focused services!

Testing microservices can be daunting—how do you ensure every request-response flow works seamlessly without drowning in mocks and complex setups? Enter our Acceptance Test Library!

Join us for an engaging 45-minute session, where two experienced engineers will walk you through a powerful tool designed to revolutionize your integration testing.

We’ll explore how to verify your Kotlin microservices’ end-to-end functionality, including real database interactions, message brokering, and external API calls, with minimal mocks and maximum efficiency. Whether you’re working with REST, gRPC, or Kafka, our library makes testing simpler, faster, and more effective.

Through live demos and practical examples, you’ll learn to:
- Set up declarative request-response training for external dependencies.
- Integrate TestContainers for databases, message brokers, and search engines.
- Use built-in gRPC/REST/Kafka tooling to streamline tests.
- Monitor and verify events and side effects with ease.

This talk is for everyone—whether you’re new to microservices or a seasoned pro. Walk away with actionable insights and a new perspective on functional testing. Let’s build microservices that are not only functional but resilient and reliable!
