Presentation: Reaching Production Faster with Containers in Testing
Location:
- Salon A/B
Duration
Day of week:
- Tuesday
Level:
- Intermediate
Persona:
- Developer
Key Takeaways
- Learn why integration testing services inside containers can increase service robustness and prevent many types of bugs.
- Hear techniques used by Spotify for testing not only service containers but also Docker orchestration tools.
- Learn how container integration tests allow developers to test real dependencies easily and ensure tests are reproducible and isolated.
Abstract
Spotify adopted container technology early on and built its own OSS framework for container orchestration called Helios. Not only do containers run many critical systems at Spotify, they also improve and accelerate development. We run containerized integration tests close to 400 times a day.
This talk covers how our Helios testing framework drives integration tests and spins up entirely self-contained environments during test runs. Developers can test services locally in an environment closely resembling the production stack; spin up dependent services like Cassandra, memcached, or even other containerized Spotify services; and even test their deployment and service discovery configurations.
Learn how this style of integration testing has increased our code quality and successful deployments.
