The countdown is on for Devoxx Belgium 2024—the premier event for the global Java developer community! From October 7th to 11th, over 3,500 developers, engineers, and technologists from 45+ countries will gather in Antwerp for a week of networking, cutting-edge sessions, and hands-on workshops. And this year, we're thrilled to be part of the action, showcasing Testcontainers at Docker Booth #26!
If you're attending Devoxx and are interested in how you can streamline your development and testing processes, be sure to drop by our booth. Here’s what you can expect:
Streamlining Local Development with Dev Containers and Testcontainers Cloud
At Docker, we believe in providing developers with the right tools to enhance their productivity and streamline their workflows. Testcontainers, an open-source library that supports lightweight, disposable Docker containers for testing, does just that.
Whether you're working with databases, microservices, or full-stack applications, Testcontainers helps ensure your tests run in production-like environments from the start. By automating the setup and teardown of dependencies, you can focus on coding while ensuring your applications are reliable, scalable, and test-ready.
What Problems Does Testcontainers Solve?
Testcontainers addresses several common challenges associated with integration testing:
No Pre-Provisioned Infrastructure Needed: Testcontainers automates the setup of required services, ensuring that your tests run in a consistent environment.
Isolation and Parallel Execution: Each test pipeline runs with its own isolated set of services, preventing data conflicts even when multiple tests execute concurrently.
Simplified Execution: You can run your integration tests directly from your IDE, just like unit tests, speeding up your feedback cycle.
Automatic Cleanup: Testcontainers takes care of destroying the containers after the tests, regardless of whether they pass or fail.
What You’ll See at Docker Booth #26
At Docker Booth #26, we’ll be showcasing how Testcontainers can significantly enhance your testing and development workflows. Here’s what we’ve got in store:
1. Live Demos:
Come by for live demonstrations of Testcontainers in action. You’ll see how to:
- Use Testcontainers in your Java application development process.
- Use Testcontainers for provisioning application dependent services like PostgreSQL, Kafka, LocalStack for local development
- Use Testcontainers Desktop for local development and debugging
- Write tests using Testcontainers
2. Q&A with Experts:
Got questions about Testcontainers, Docker, or containerized testing in general? Our team of experts will be available throughout the event to answer your technical questions and discuss real-world applications.
3. Grab Some Swag!
Don’t forget to pick up some cool testcontainers and Docker swag while you’re at our booth! We’ll have a variety of goodies to give away, so stop by to snag yours!
