067 Redefine Testing for Microservice Delivery Pipelines with Chris Burrell

How can you get your build times down to minutes? Exactly: eliminate the largest time consumer! At Landbay, where Chris Burrell heads up technology, this was end-to-end testing.Landbay deploys their 40 different microservices into ECS on a continuous basis. The fastest deployment from code to production is 6 minutes. This includes a lot of testing – but simply not the traditional end-to-end testing any longer. Chris gives us insights in contract testing, mocked frontend testing, how they do Blue/Green deployments and what their strategy is when it comes to rollback or rollforward.For more information watch Chris’s talk on 6 minutes from Code Commit to Live at µCon and his lightening talk on CDC Testing is Dead – Long Live Swagger.https://twitter.com/ChrisBurrell7https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/10714-6-minutes-from-code-commit-to-live-you-won-t-believe-how-we-did-ithttps://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/11147-lightning-talk-cdc-testing-is-dead-long-live-swagger#video

The brutal truth about digital performance engineering and operations.

Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics.

Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.
