Balancing API Versioning and Backward Compatibility

In our previous episode with Chris Burrell, Head of Technology at Landbay, we learned how they got rid of end-to-end testing in order to speed up continuous delivery. Today we discuss how they still make sure that no code changes in their microservice architecture breaks end-to-end use cases by leveraging Contract-based Testing using Swagger and several tools in the Swagger ecosystem, e.g: diff, code generation … - also make sure to check out Chris’ presentation at yCon called “CDC is dead – long live swagger”.
