Integration Tests Done Right: Testcontainers | Oleg Šelajev

Cloud Commute

Writing good integration tests is hard. Databases and other services need to be started up, the test has to be run, and everything needs to be shut down again. In this episode of Cloud Commute Oleg Šelajev from Docker talks about how Testcontainers makes our lives better.

In this episode of Cloud Commute, Chris and Oleg discuss:

• Test containers and their role in development and testing environments
• Improving developer productivity with containerized environments
• Challenges and benefits of integrating Docker with test containers
• The future of AI in software development and democratization of AI components
• Building efficient and scalable testing frameworks using pre-configured modules

About simplyblock:

Simplyblock is an intelligent database storage orchestrator for IO-intensive workloads in Kubernetes, including databases and analytics solutions. It uses smart NVMe caching to speed up read I/O latency and queries. A single system connects local NVMe disks, GP3 volumes, and S3 making it easier to handle storage capacity and performance. With the benefits of thin provisioning, storage tiering, and volume pooling, your database workloads get better performance at lower cost without changes to existing AWS infrastructure.
