Integration tests are nice. We all know that and love using them, don't we?
It's just using all those databases, message brokers and other things as real dependencies, only wrapped by Testcontainers, might result in a really heavy CI/CD pipeline and developers' attitude to never run them locally, because they're so slooooooooooow.
What if I could show you a number of techniques, mindset changes and tricks to get your integration tests shortened from quarters to seconds? Would that be interesting for you, to benefit from the confidence integrations tests give you, before you're able to brew a fresh coffee?
It's really not about re-inventing the wheel, but using it the smart way.
