Production Comes First - An Outside-In Approach to Building Microservices

The software world is moving towards multiple interconnected applications that service our customer needs, but this makes development so much harder. Now we need to think about how were interact we other systems that we don't necessarily own.

In this talk, I'll introduce outside-in testing. We'll also talk about how we can use Observability techniques in our local development to build applications that are easier to debug locally and are built to be run in production as a first class citizen
