Golang Tutorial: Contract Testing with PACT

The Story about eliminating integration issues from our environments.

My favorite part of software development is writing tests, whether they are unit tests or integration tests. I enjoy the process immensely. There’s a certain satisfaction in creating a test case that uncovers a function’s failure. It brings me joy to discover a bug during development, knowing that I’ve fixed it before anyone encounters it in a test environment or, worse, in production. Sometimes, I stay up late just to write more tests; it’s like a hobby.

Most of the issues were related to integration problems with other services or databases.
