One solution is to deploy them all to a test environment and run end to end tests which results in very slow feedback cycle and keeps the testing far away from the engineer. Enter Pact, which solves this problem by enabling you to test dependencies between services as part of your local testing. Pact acts as a super charged mock server, enabling you to test your software functions consumes an API in the way the provider expects. Pact also gives you the ability to test that the provider of the pact (server in this case) is actually serving the API in the way that is it contracted. This end to end testing enables your microservices to change with confidence that everything will work together and it brings the feedback cycle very close to the engineer. In this episode Yousaf Nabi from Smart Bear talks us through how pact solves all of these problems and how you can also use it to solve other dependencies between software such as events when you have an event driven architecture.

Often this is executed using a manual set of tests run annually. This approach has many pitfalls, the biggest of which being that your tests become out of date the minute a change is made to the system. In this episode our host Kevin Holditch interviewed Viktor Peacock Head: SRE and Mike Tonks: Staff SRE on how Form3 have approached DR testing with their multi-cloud platform. Listen to the episode to find out from Viktor and Mike how Form3 have automated their DR tests, so they can run them nightly, to catch bad changes before they make it to production.

One of its USPs is that it is agnostic to the underlying infrastructure as code tool, so it can be used with Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulomi, to name but a few. This concept becomes super powerful in that you can combine stacks written for different infrastructure as code tools into dependency workflows, for example the output of a cloud formation stack could feed into a stack written in Terraform. Jean-Marc Fontaine, head of solutions & support at Spacelift, takes us through some of the possibilities that Spacelift enables and the different angle of attack they have in terms of solving infrastructure as code pipelines.

His primary area of focus is not the kernel internals, but the kernel interface that it presents to the world, which is the same as classical UNIX.

He has roughly 10 years experience in the tech industry. He comes from a non-conventional background, having studied Media Technology in University. He has worked in a variety of industries, including web agencies, startups and consulting. He is also a Linux Foundation trainer for Kubernetes. He joined Form3 a year ago and works on providing cloud agnostic Kubernetes experience for product teams. 

Moritz's journey into open-source began in 2018 when he was working in consulting and had to build a Kubernetes platform that would work across AWS accounts. Most projects did not support assuming a role in another AWS account, so Moritz contributed this functionality to the various OSS projects he was using. Eventually, Moritz provided this same feature to kubernetes-external-secrets which was the de-facto secrets synching solution at the time. He then gradually became more involved in this project and helped take on the work of merging multiple secrets solutions together.

Lucas Severo Alves is a Software Engineer at RedHat, focusing on open-source. He has a background in DevOps, SRE and system administration. His introduction to open-source was also on the kubernetes-external-secrets project that Moritz was working on. He was excited to focus on a single solution for managing secrets across platforms, which is something that he was focused on as part of his role.

He has roughly 10 years experience in the tech industry. He comes from a non-conventional background, having studied Media Technology in University. He has worked in a variety of industries, including web agencies, startups and consulting. He is also a Linux Foundation trainer for Kubernetes. He joined Form3 a year ago and works on providing cloud agnostic Kubernetes experience for product teams. 

Moritz's journey into open-source began in 2018 when he was working in consulting and had to build a Kubernetes platform that would work across AWS accounts. Most projects did not support assuming a role in another AWS account, so Moritz contributed this functionality to the various OSS projects he was using. Eventually, Moritz provided this same feature to kubernetes-external-secrets which was the de-facto secrets synching solution at the time. He then gradually became more involved in this project and helped take on the work of merging multiple secrets solutions together.

Lucas Severo Alves is a Software Engineer at RedHat, focusing on open-source. He has a background in DevOps, SRE and system administration. His introduction to open-source was also on the kubernetes-external-secrets project that Moritz was working on. He was excited to focus on a single solution for managing secrets across platforms, which is something that he was focused on as part of his role.
