We've all been there: needing to test a piece of software that has external dependencies, like a database or an API.

And it always starts hopeful, a small mock here, a little setup there, but before you know it, it has spiraled out-of-control and has become a hot mess of hard-to-read setup code and mocked data. And all because we can’t run destructive tests on our live environments.

In this talk we will dive deeper into why this is a problem and how testcontainers can help not only solve this problem but also how testcontainers could start replacing your test environment.

After the session you will be able to start leveraging testcontainers in your solutions.
